Description: | Two tertiary waste flakes / debitage of flint dating to the later Mesolithic - early Bronze Age periods (4500 - 1800 BC). Both the flakes are relatively small being irregular in plan and profile with a series of varying sized flake facets present on the outer faces. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. These flakes are clear evidence of flint knapping at this site. It is possible that these represent reduced or reworked cores, due to their chunky nature and multiple faces, however the do not survive well enough to be sure of this hypothesis.Both the pieces of flint are patinated. They have combined weight of 11.27 grams1. Measures 25.5mm length, 28.1mm width is 14.2mm thick and weighs 9.41 grams2. Measures 16.2mm length, 18.7mm width is 9.7mm thick and weighs 1.86 grams
