A worked flint fragment, 41.5mm in length, which is narrow and tapers to a point. One side is curved with parallel removal scars; the other side comprises three facets in a trapezoidal arrangment giving the whole a thick lozengiform cross section.

A complete flnt lithic implement of probable Melithic to Neolithic date (c. 9000 BC - 2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and slightly curved. The cross-section is D-shaped with a distinct point off-centre on the dorsal face, suggesting this object was a core with up to four flake removals surrounding. The left and right edges show potential abrupt retouch (as noted by the finder) suggesting subsequent use as a scraper. The object was struck from a secondary flint flake and the object is opaque grey with white patination. Cortex has been noted by the finder on the…

A tertiary struck flint flake, 50.9mm in length and possibly of Mesolithic date, struck from a brown coloured flint which has been heavily recorticated with a white patina from prolonged deposition in calcareous sediments. A secondary re-use in a much later period of prehistory (possibly the Bronze Age) is demonstrated by an area of short parallel semi-abrupt retouch along one edge, which has broken through the patination.

A group of worked flints from the same location, of Mesolithic date (in photo, from top left to bottom right): A blade core 48mm x 42mm x 32.9 mm and 88g, struck from a mottled light grey flint. The core has a single striking platform and removals all around its circumference. Five flint blades and blade fragments of Mesolithic date struck from dark brown to dark grey flint. The longest (60mm) has semi abrupt short scaled retouch along both long edges. Two of the incomplete blades also demonstrate short scaled retouch. One blade comprises a triangular point (27.6mm x 15.1mm x 3.3mm a…

Flint nodule with cortex lithic implement. A large object, perhaps one half of a longitudinally split nodule with a slightly concave fracture surface which has accumulated a dense thick [2.5mm where visible from the side] creamy patina suggesting it has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. The cortex is trimmed by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along opposed long edges, and also across one end of the nodule where the patina is interrupted. The result is a crude massy but certainly deliberately formed implement. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic,…

A complete Mesolithic flint drill bit or mèche de foret struck from a bladelet of dark grey-brown flint 48.2mm in length. The tool is of narrow lanceolate shape. The dorsal surface has parallel removal scars, the ventral surface has conchoidal ripply marks. There is short parallel and abrupt retouch along both edges which blunts both sides and narrows the distal tip to a sharp point.

A complete bevelled pebble with probable hammer use wear of Mesolithic date. The tool is oval in cross section and tapers slightly from one end to the other. It is bevelled at one end and shows use wear consistent with hammering at the other. Bevelled pebbles are fairly common finds on later Mesolithic sites, particularly along the coast. They are commonly interpreted as being used in the processing of seal skins. This particular tool has been used as a hammer in addition to the bevelled edge, and may have been carried inland for this purpose.
