tertiary flint waste flake. Heavily patinated mid grey flint (thge patina is thick, white and matt). Irregular shaoped flake with a wide striking platform and shallow bulb of percussion on the ventral surface. Waves of percusiion are also visible. The dorsal surface is concave due to a large flaking scar which closely resembles the shape of this flake. Neolithic to Bronze Age.

A flint end scraper which probably dates from the early Bronze Age. The scraper has been made from a primary flake and nodule cortex covers much of the dorsal surface. At the proximal end is the striking platform, below which on the ventral side is the bulb of percussion, a prounuced bulbar scar and slight ripples which radiate for the whole length of the scraper. The distal end has been retouched. There is also some edge damage on the lateral edges. The mottled light and mid grey flint has a low gloss patina.

An retouched blade which probably dates from the Neolithic period. At the proximal end is the striking platform, below which on the ventral side is the bulb of percussion and pronouced ripples which radiate for the whole length of the blade.
