Description: | Three waste flakes / debitage of Mesolithic to Neolithic dating (4000 to 3000 BC). All three are irregular in shape. One consists of primary debitage, with more than 50% of the surface being covered by the cortex (outer rind). The other two are tertiary debitage, with little or no cortex (outer rind) present. Evdience for working consists of a clear bulb of percussion and controlled conchoidal fracturing. There is evidence of uncontrolled fracturing and plough roll, probably from movement in the soil. Together they weigh 13.1 grams. 1. Measures 42.02mm length, 19.26mm width, 10.16mm thick and weighs 6.7 grams. 2. Measures 32.41mm length, 20.94mm width, 9.51mm thick and weighs 5.4 grams. 3. Measures 19.28mm length, 12.21mm width, 4.95mm thick and weighs 1.0 grams
