Description: | Nineteen microburins, largest length 15mm, width 10mm, thickness 3mm, smallest length 6mm, width 6mm, thickness 1mm. These are the butts of microlithis and are waste products from the manufacturing process. Most have one arise on the dorsal. All have either concave retouch on one of the corners, which would have facilitated the removal of the point from the butt, or this area is snapped without the retouch. About 70% have a light grey patina, 15% have a creamy patina and the rest have a mid grey patina. These artefacts date to the Late Mesolithic. This is part of an assemblage that consists of; 1 Early Mesolithic blade. GLO-72CA98 1 Neolithic polished stone axe fragment. GLO-72AB32 2 Mesolithic awls.
