Description: | Three Mesolithic (8300-3500 BC) waste flakes, numbers refer to those on photograph.1) Waste flake, possibly core refreshment flake. The flake was struck off cortex but has evidence of a prepared platform at the distal end. Only c.1% cortext remaining. The dorsal face shows evidence of multiple removals with some shattering. The ventral face is concave and has a small bulb of percussion from precise striking. The flint is mid orange/brown with darker areas. Weight: 9.16g, Length: 43.10mm, Width: 32.24mm, Thickness: 9.76mm. 2) Core refreshment flake. The flake has been struck of a prepared platform, with a large but diffuse bulb of percussion on the ventral face, but the break has curved through 90 degrees, removing the point of a pyramidal core. The dorsal face shows signs of multiple, parallel, planned blade removals. The flint is mid grey with darker grey areas. Weight: 23.41g, Length: 55.03mm, Width: 26.40mm, Thickness: 22.88mm. 3) Waste flake, probably core refreshment flake. The flake is blade like but has also removed a projecting 'foot' from the core.
