Description: | Pair of reworked flint flakes, worked into blades, triangular in plan, and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. Both have unifacially retouched on both margins of the dorsal face, one ot the distal point and the other to the proximal point.The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, with little cortex remaining, probably made from local beach pebbles. The length to breadth ratio of the more triangular implement is about 1:1, and the other, represented below, is 5:3.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples of retouched flakes on page 140, Fig.5.126, Nos.10 & 13, which are dated to the Later Neolithic.Andrefsky (1998) illustrates similar conchoidal flakes on page 16, Fig.2.6, Ref:a & c.
