Possible flint waste flake with platform preparation. There is a small amount of scaring around the point of percussion, and a large bulb of percussion with radiating ripples along the length of the ventral surface. The dorsal surface is also covered in ripples, and there is one ridge along its length. The distal end is largely covered in natural cortex. It has a 'V' shaped cross section at the proximal end, which becomes rectangular at the distal end. It is 36.58mm long, 44.84mm wide, 10.88mm thick and weighs 18.50 grams.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint knapped flake, probably dating to either the Mesolithic or Neolithic period (8300-2100 BC). Although the platform is missing, there is a strong bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples present on the ventral surface. No signs of retouch or further knapping are visible to suggest that this flake was modified as a tool. It measures 35.37 mm long, 22.75 mm wide, 4.83 mm thick and weighs 6.99 grams.

Square piece of mid grey coloured flint with over 60% cortex remaining on the dorsal face. The proximal edge up to and just beyond the medial is covered in cortex material, the cortex is smooth to the touch and typical of beach material. The right margin is straight in plan and may have been broken, the distal edge is blade like in appearance with possible serrations along the edge. The left margin appears to have been snapped off and looks irregular, edges are more curved implying the damage is older. The ventral face is smooth in appearance with some 20% cortex material coverin…

A large heat treated thin flake of mottled cream and light grey flint with a pink tinge, particularly under the remaining pebble cortex. The flake has been double struck by a soft hammer.The flint looks heat treated because of its colour and lustrous flaked surfaces. The distal end has been truncated through the patina to reveal a greyer but still pinkish interior. A straight line of lustrous retouch is on the shorter distal break. The right ventral edge has also been retouched through the cream surface. This flake has been reused by snapping and retouching some time after it was stru…

The distal end of a hinged flake of light grey and brown flint. it has been truncated straight and there is a half of a notch on the left end of it as though it has been made by the microburin technique. The dorsal surface carries truncated bladelet scars. The segment has been utilised as there is shallow damage to the right lateral margin. Butler(2005) illustrates a segment on page 115, fig 46, 7.

A core rejuvenation flake struck obliquely to remove the flaking face of an opposed platform blade and flake core. The flint is a lustrous nearly translucent brown flint with opaque cream inclusions and may have been heated to improve its flaking qualities. It has then been used for its handy sides and sharp margins with fine abrupt and semi-invasive retouch worked for different tasks. Butler(2005) illustrates a flanc de nucleus of this type on page 87, fig 31, 9.
