Workflow stage: Published
Palaeolithic flint implement: multiple tool. Made on a very large tertiary blade, very light cream opaque patina. No platform present although there is a break. Not blade technology. Opposing orthogonal dorsal scars have created a central ridge. Both lateral edges have long, scaler retouch to create a scraping edge on the right and a denticulated edge on the left. On the right the retouch is all inverse, semi-abrupt and low-angle, and on the left the retouch is alternating, abrupt and low-angle, Either Middle or Upper Palaeolithic but cannot be dated with certainty.

Palaeolithic chert implement: multiple tool. Made on a broken flake, with some re-cortication and opaque patination. Chert is light mottled browns and greys with some iron-staining. Denticulations along both lateral edges. The distal end has an awl fashioned by notching on either side. The ventral face has been flaked. Piece appears to be Middle Palaeolithic but Neolithic cannot be ruled out.

Middle Palaeolithic flint implement: limace. Made on chalky flint, light grey opaque patina. Abrupt flaking and retouch around the entire piece to create a double-pointed limace. One point of note is that this limace is bi-facial, thus differing from Bordes' classification.

Lower to Middle Palaeolithic flint implement: notch. A rolled gravel flake, patinated mid- and light brown opaque. Notch created by denticulated retouch. A good example of a small flaked tool of probably Palaeolithic date. Some retouch is present near the notch and these areas are patinated in the lighter brown, suggesting the flake is far older and was collected in the gravels, It is not possible tp accurately date the notch but the flake is Middle Palaeolithic at the latest.
