A complete Neolithic endscraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The end scraper is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte light brown sometimes semi-glossy medium brown semi-translucent flint. It is broadly recyangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section the ventral surface being wider than the dorsal surface. It has at least three earlier flake removal scars on the dorsal surface struck in the same direction as the scraper. Its distal end has medium length, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch across its length. No retouch exists on the ventral surface altho…

A piece of Neolithic debitage, possibly indicating blade production dating to, c. 4000-2400 BC. The object is worked from a tertiary flake of light grey flint with occasional medium grey patches. The flake is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular to trapezoidal in cross section.  At least four negative removal scars are present on the dorsal face, some running in a linear fashion parallel to each other. The ventral face is almost perfectly flat. The longest side of the triangle has possible retouch, suggesting it may have been used as a scraping …

A flint tool, taking the form of a serrated blade, probably dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Neolithic period, c. 7000-2351 BC. The blade is made from a tertiary flake of mid grey flint with a band of darker grey cutting diagonally through it. It is an elongated leaf shape in plan, and is slightly concave on one side and convex on the other. The dorsal face has a ridge running lengthwise slightly off centre. The flake is 36.16mm long, 16.58mm wide, and 0.75mm thick. It weighs 3.86 grams.

The scraper is made from a secondary flake of dark grey flint which thin white pebble cortex on the the surface opposite the striking platform only. It has a glossy patina. The scraper is an irregular lozenge shape in cross section and sub-rectangular in plan. The ventral surface has short, sub-parallel, low-angled retouch running along the left edge just below the striking platform. There is a medium sized bulb of percussion with a a percussion (eraillure) scar from which conchouidal ripples emanate acr…

A broken and incomplete Neolithic flaked and polished flint axe, dating to c.4000-2350 BC. The surviving axe is sub-triangular, almost trapezoidal, in form with a damaged but mostly rounded terminal edge on one side and an irregular diagonal break on the opposite side. The long edges expand in convex curves from the blade to this wider broken terminal. The axehead is 11.7mm thick at the terminal edge and expands along its surviving length to 20.7mm thick at the terminal. The thickness of the terminal and width expansion may suggest this representing the butt of the coim…
