No. 1 on the attached photograph. A late Upper Palaeolithic non-geometic microlith, dating from 11,000 BC to 8,300 BC. Multiple bladelet / flakes have previously been removed from the surface of the flake. There is evidence of retouch.

A small waste flint flake, weighing 17.3g. The flake has a striking platform and a bulb of percussion. There is evidence that previous flakes have been removed from the surface of the flake before this flake itself was removed from the core. Approximately 40% of the dorsal surface still has the original cortex surface surviving.

A small waste flint flake, weighing 18.8g. The flake has a bulb of percussion, but this feature has largely been removed by knapping resulting in the piece having a rounded end. There is evidence that previous flakes have been removed from the surface of the flake before this flake itself was removed from the core. The flake has been broken horizontally. Approximatley 10% of the original cortex surface survives on the dorsal surface of the flint.

A small waste flint flake, weighing 9.9g. The flake has a striking platform and a bulb of percussion and there is evidence that previous flakes have been removed from the surface of the flake before this flake itself was removed from the core. There is a large fault line in the flint just under the bulb of percussion.

A long, and very narrow blade flake, of fine black flint. The flake is fairly straight; one end has secondary flaking and was the striking-point. The other end is a clean break. The dorsal face has three long facets, along with the retouching at one end. This is a very skilfully struck blade, but it appears not to have been used, as it has no wear or damage. This item dates to between the Upper Palaeolithic and the Neolithic.

7 worked flints: These have all been knapped from high-quality flint: 1, 3, 5 and 6 are all black flint. 2 ad 7 are light grey, and 4 is grey. 1) 38.11mm by 30.28mm, by 5.66mm, and weighing 7.38g. It is a sub-rectangular flake that has been struck from a core. The most right-angled corner is also the bulb of percussion. One of the edges leading from this corner is totally straight, and has been made so by a line of minute pressure flake-scars. This piece is totally pristine apart from small amounts of mud in the creases of the flint, which suggest that it was created very recently- t…
