Description: | Six flakes and blades, numbers relate to objects in photograph1. Secondary blade struck off a double ended core. Percussion waves on the ventral face indicate it was struck from the end which is now broken with the bulb of percussion lost. Prepared platform at the distal end; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Cortex at the remaining proximal end of the dorsal face covering c.1% of the flake. Dark grey-brown in colour with paler mottling. 39.1mm long, 19.9mm wide, 6.5mm thick, 3.83 grams2. Secondary waste flake struck off the cortex. Bulb of percussion, percussion waves and bulb scars on the ventral face; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Probable cortex at the proximal and distal ends. S shaped in profile mid grey-brown in colour with darker and paler mottling. 28.5mm long, 14.8mm wide, 4.9mm thick, 2.12 grams3. Secondary flake possibly struck off a prepared platform, or struck to remove area of damage and cortex. Bulb of percussion and percussion waves on the ventral face; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Cortex at the distal end of the dorsal face covering c.10 % of the flake. Damage at the proximal end of the dorsal face. Dark brown in colour. 32.4mm long, 15.3mm wide, 4.9mm thick, 2.42 grams4. Tertiary blade struck off a prepared platform. Bulb of percussion with bulb scars and percussion waves on the ventral face; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Some starch fracturing on the dorsal face. Mid grey-brown in colour with paler and darker mottling. 38.6mm long, 18.8mm wide, 5.0mm thick, 2.79 grams5. Proximal end of a tertiary blade with damage at both ends and snap at the proximal end. Possible bulb of percussion with large bulb scar and percussion waves on the ventral face; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Mid orange-brown in colour with paler and darker mottling. 26.1 mm long, 13.3mm wide, 7.2mm thick, 2.37 grams6. Distal end of a tertiary blade with modern snap at the proximal end. Percussion waves on the ventral face; multiple arises on the dorsal face. Mid grey-brown in colour with paler and darker mottling and pale grey patination. 31.7mm long, 18.3mm wide, 3.8mm thick, 1.95grams
