3 Neolithic worked flint pieces and 3 undated pieces of flint debitage found in the same location.
Top to bottom, left to right:
A1 Neolithic blade. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A blade which has removed part of the blade core from which it was struck so could be a mis-strike.
A2 Undated core.
A3 Neolithic denticulate. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A bi-facially retouched and worked (presumably) flake. Denticulated notches on rounded edge. Knife-like.
B1 Undated core fragment.
B2 Undated core fragment.
B3 Neolithic broken flake. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A re-used flake. The original flake has light blue opaque patina and working on the ventral face. Probably a Mesolithic flake retouched in the Neolithic.

6 Neolithic, 2 Mesolithic and 1 undated flint cores and core fragments found in the same location.
Top to bottom, left to right:
A1 Mesolithic multi-platform core. Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, -8000 to -3300. Mid-blue opaque patina. Worked all over.
A2 Neolithic flake. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. An orthogonal secondary flake to an opposed platform core. Mid-grey opaque patina.
A3 Neolithic broken core. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A broken piece from a core with one notable platform;.
B1 Undated worked piece. Worked but not a systematic core.
B2 Neolithic broken core. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A broken core piece that has been further flaked.
B3 Mesolithic opposed-platform core. Early to Late Mesolithic, -9000 to -4000. Made on a triangular-shaped piece of flint. The platform is using a relict core face so the piece presumably started off much larger and has been worked into this triangular shape. Some evidence of relict-core working also on the back.
C1 Neolithic core fragment. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A piece from a multi-directional core.
C2 Neolithic core fragment. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A piece sheared off a core with some bi-directional bladelet working.
C3 Neolithic opposed-platform core. Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, -8000 to -3300. Opposed-platform working on a small broken piece presumably knocked off a core in its early stages of shaping due to its high cortex presence. Just one face worked

2 Neolithic implements plus 2 Neolithic and 1 undated core fragments found in the same location.
Top to bottom, left to right:
A1 Neolithic point. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A short, wide secondary flake. The left side of the tip is retouched (semi-abrupt, parallel) on the ventral face to sharpen. The left edge has long, semi-abrupt and abrupt, scaler retouch.
A2 Neolithic broken core. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. A broken orthogonal core, light grey opaque patina.
A3 Undated core fragment.
B1 Neolithic burnt core. Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, -8000 to -3300. A burnt orthogonal core, one face flaked orthogonally to the other face.
B2 Neolithic retouched flake. Early to Late Neolithic, -4000 to -2200. Appears to have potential for a Neolithic axe head. Abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on one end may have been a cutting/chopping edge. The opposing edge has been abruptly notched and flaked. Step-fracture across the wide distal end.
