Description: | 4 lithic implements Bronze Age Largest. Length 35mm, width 27mm, depth 8mm Smallest. Length 22mm, width 19mm, depth 5mm 1, Flaking scars covering the whole of the dorsal and the ventral. Very poorly struck low angled, bifacial, invasive on the dorsal, long on the ventral, steeped retouch. Light blue patina with white mottling covers half of the artefact, where it has been retouched it has removed the original patina exposing the dark brownish grey flint. Therefore this artefact is a reused implement. 2, The bulb is missing from the ventral. 70% on the cortex remains on the dorsal, slightly convex retouched working edge along the top consisting of abrupt angle, sub-parallel, short, direct flaking scars. Light greyish blue patina with white mottling, the processes of retouching has removed the patina and exposed a light brown flint, the but end is truncated again exposing the flint. Therefore this artefact is a reused implement 3, Pronounced bulb of percussion at the base of the ventral. Flaking scars covering the whole of the dorsal, retouched sub-abrupt, direct, short blade on the left, 'V'-shaped direct notch on the right. Light brown colour with darker and lighter mottling. 4, Flaking scars cover the whole of the dorsal and ventral. Bifacial blade/working edge along two sides. Mid grey colour with lighter patches, the is the slight remains (10%) of a patina in one corner suggesting that this is a reused fragment of a much older lithic artefact.
