Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a utilized flake with a retouched edge. The dorsal face shows retouch at the distal end of the right margin. There is use wear all round. The ventral face is clean except for small use-wear scars around the edges. The retouched edge is not visible from this face. The flint is honey brown in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is uncertain with only tertiary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 56 Nos L104 which he calls an edge trimmed flake and dates to the Neolithic.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is an irregular flake.. The dorsal face has battered edges all round, fine retouch along the right margin towards the distal end The ventral face has a prominent butt and bulbal scar, otherwise the face is clear. There is fine retouch at the distal end of the left margin. The flint is clear deep grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is uncertain with only tertiary cortex.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a piercer worked up on the edge of a D-shaped slice from a pebble. The proximal and distal ends are not clean. Most of the dorsal face is cortexed. There is retouch along all but the straight breakage. Ther eis a small sharp, fresh point near the centre of the curved right margin. Most of the retouch to form the point has been done from the ventral face, which shows some scars. . The flint is mottled grey and brown in colour.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a notched pebble. The notch has been formed at the distal end of the dorsal face by retouch from the a large flake scar on the ventral surface. The retouched area is less patinated than the ventral scar. the notch is slightly worn. The ventral face has large scars covering the distal half of the surface, used as a platform from which to retouch the prominent notch. The flint has grey/white patination almost all over. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its primary cortex. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar p…
