The flakes have less than 50% cortex (outer rind) present, which is a mid grey white colour, possibly originally from a chalk or limestone based procurement source. There are small flake facets present along the edges of each flake, most of these are uncontrolled, probably from plough roll. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present on any of the three flakes. The combined weight of all three flakes is 5.8 grams. 1.
