Description: | A group of five late Mesolithic flint implements all found together, comprising four microliths and a single waste flake. Of the microliths, two are small lunate shaped microliths, and one is lunate shaped but much larger than the others, although all three clearly present the typical semi circular shape associated with this type of microlith. The fourth microlith is broken in one corner, but appears to present a triangular geometric form, of scalene type. The waste flake appears as if removals have been made from it, probably of more small microliths, rendering it equivalent almost to a secondary, small core. Dimensions:Microlith 1- L.: 25.37mm, W.: 16.95mm, Th.: 3.77mm, Wt. 2.025gMicrolith 2- L.: 19.4mm, W.: 15.8mm, Th.: 2.7mm, Wt.: 1.45gMicrolith 3- L.: 27.45mm, W.: 29.6mm, Th.: 6.05mm, Wt. 5.675gMicrolith 4- L.: 37.05mm, W.: 18.75mm, Th.: 4.95mm, Wt. 5.03gWaste Flake/Secondary Core- L.: 41.35mm, W.: 33.0mm, Th.: 9.65mm, Wt. 8.65g
