This lithic implement, made on a tertiary blade, is sub-triangular in plan and cross-section. The dorsal surface has three negative scars with corresponding arrises. On the dorsal face there is fine retouch along the right mesal edge. There is also a small length of fine retouch on the left edge opposite the discolouration at the proximal end. This retouch is semi-abrupt, short and sub-parallel. The distal end of the featureless ventral face appears to have…

Neolithic or Bronze Age flint tool manufactured from a flake, hemispheroidal in form and sub-oval in plan. Length c.86mm, width c.70mm and c.36mm thick. Weight 229.93g. The ventral surface which is slightly convex is in the form of a bulb of percussion. A few small flakes have been detached from around the edge. The dorsal surface has been crudely knapped to form the dome-shape. Part of the side of the tool at the distal end of the dorsal surface has been knapped to form a steep edge. One section of this edge, about 20mm in length, is vertical and is more finely knapped than the remai…
