Description: | Four flint waste flakes found close together.
1. Tertiary flint waste flake with no obvious sign of retouch. The edges are plough damaged. The ventral face is concave with no obvious bulb of percussion. The dorsal face is convex. The flint is light grey-brown in colour. It is poor quality. This lithic probably dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period.
Length: 31.9mm, Width: 15.2mm, Thickness: 4.2mm
Weight: 2.1g
2. Tertiary flint waste flake with no obvious sign of retouch. The edges are plough damaged and notched in places. The ventral face is convex with no obvious bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has three elongated flaking scars. The flint is mid grey-brown in colour with milky patches. It is poor quality. This lithic probably dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period.
Length: 45.1mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness: 6.7mm
Weight: 6.9g
3. Tertiary flint waste flake. The edges are slightly plough damaged. The ventral face is convex with a bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has two wide flaking scars, with two smaller ones between. Evidence of a small amount of possible low-angle retouch can be seen on the distal edge. The removals are long and subparallel. The flint is dark grey in colour, with milky grey-brown patches and a glossy patina in places. It is poor quality. This lithic probably dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period.
Length: 31.2mm, Width: 18.7mm, Thickness: 9.3mm
Weight: 5.4g
4. Secondary flint waste flake with no obvious sign of retouch. The edges are plough damaged, particularly the left edge, which is notched in several places. A small portion of pebble cortex remains along the right edge of the dorsal face. The ventral face is convex with no obvious bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has two elongated flaking scars. The flint is dark grey in colour, with milky brown patches. It is poor quality. This lithic probably dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period.
