A light brown coloured piece of flint, triangular in shape exhibiting a single medial ridge proximal to just below the distal edge. The dorsal face proximal edge is narrow and uneven in appearance, the right margin appears to have been subject to retouch along its edge, possibly continuing around the curvature of the right corner of the distal edge. The centre of the distal appears concave, with the left corner protruding out from the piece. The left margin appears straight with closer inspection revealing irregularities within the edge, not as a result of retouch. The ventral fac…

Triangular shaped piece of dark grey coloured cherty flint. The texture of the material appears rougher than the glassy appearance of flint. The dorsal face is rounded in appearance, no negative marks or indents on the surface. The right margin is smooth in appearance with rounded edges, terminating at the joint with the distal edge, which appears more blade like and narrower. The distal edge also appears to exhibit some serration along its edge, but this is slight and could be attributed to natural action. The left margin appears straight and could have been snapped off or broken…

Triangular shaped piece of light grey coloured flint. The dorsal face exhibits several negative scars running proximal to distal indicating possible core face. There does appear to be some traces of gloss on the dorsal surface, specifically on the edge of the right side. The proximal edge is irregular and abraded, with the right margin convex in plan, a blade type edge on its upper area, but no positive retouch along the edge. The distal edge is rounded in appearance with a broken edge on the right side, edges remain sharp implying recent damage. The left margin appears uneven an…

Square piece of mid grey coloured flint with over 60% cortex remaining on the dorsal face. The proximal edge up to and just beyond the medial is covered in cortex material, the cortex is smooth to the touch and typical of beach material. The right margin is straight in plan and may have been broken, the distal edge is blade like in appearance with possible serrations along the edge. The left margin appears to have been snapped off and looks irregular, edges are more curved implying the damage is older. The ventral face is smooth in appearance with some 20% cortex material coverin…

Triangular shaped piece of dark grey coloured flint, which has been subjected to intense heat. The Dorsal face exhibits classic signs of being damaged by heat, fracturing and blow out marks are evident across the face. The proximal edge retains a small piece of cortex, which does not provide enough evidence of source. The right and left margins are both damaged and irregular in appearance. The distal edge is smoother in appearance but contains fractures within the surface of the material, the edge is convex in plan with some pitting. The ventral face is also damaged in appearanc…

Mid grey coloured piece of flint with off white speckling within the surface. The dorsal face is uneven in appearance and consistent with a removed core face (core rejuvenation flake), several negative scars and termination fractures would support this observation. The right margin appears blade like from just below the medial until the join with the distal edge. The distal edge looks to be broken, edges still relatively sharp but uneven. The left margin is uneven in appearance, does have sharp edges on the indents but would not provide a level cutting platform. The proximal edge …

Off white coloured piece of flint with grey inclusion at the distal end. The dorsal face exhibits at least one indication of heat exposure with what appears to be a blow out alongside the right margin near the medial.

Ovoid piece of off cream coloured flint, the dorsal face is smooth to the touch but uneven in appearance. The proximal edge appears to have a point at the medial of the edge, which would have been useful as a piercer. The right margin is convex in plan, but uneven when viewed, no obvious indication of retouch, the distal edge is rounded and smooth in plan with the tip appearing flat, possible remains of a striking platform, again no indication of retouch. The left margin is concave in appearance along its edge, while the plan view would not support this, the edge appears smooth, ag…

Triangular shaped piece of off cream coloured flint. Shaped like an arrowhead, this piece exhibits several negative scars on the dorsal face, one in the medial at the proximal edge, described by the finder as a possible hafting point. The left margin appears to have been subject to retouch along its lower edge, which appears thick and more consistent with a scraper edge. The distal edge terminates as a point, while the right side of the distal point the margin is thin and more blade like in appearance, this becomes thicker as the right margin reaches the media. The proximal edge i…

Irregular shaped dark brown coloured piece of flint. The dorsal face is uneven in appearance, exhibiting several negative scar edges, typical of a core face. The proximal edge is similar in appearance to a flake removed leaving a hinged fracture, , the right margin is jagged and uneven, where on reaching the distal edge it becomes straight as if snapped off, or could be the remains of a core striking platform. The left margin is more even in and convex in plan, but no appearance of retouch along its edge. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and touch, exhibits some conchoidal …

Rectangular shaped piece of translucent dark brown coloured flint. The dorsal face exhibits what appears to be a single negative scar at the medial running across the face between the left and right margin. The distal edge, left margin and proximal edges all appears to have been subject to retouch with the exception of the right margin which appears to have been broken. The left margin has been subject to retouch along its full length making what could be a scraper edge. The distal retouch is limited to the centre of the edge, while the proximal retouch is also limited to the cent…

Off white coloured piece of flint, shaped like half a tear drop. The right margin appears to have been snapped off, the edge is clean and sharp. The distal edge terminates in a rough point, implying damage when the right margin was broken. The left margin does appear to exhibit some abrupt retouch along its edge. The dorsal face is smooth in appearance and appears to support the theory that this is only part of a tool, probably a scraper. The ventral face is smooth in appearance, no obvious indication of retouch along this face.
