Description: | An assemblage of ten pieces of flint debitage.Five of the pieces represent blades, while the other five are broader, less regular and can be described as waste flakes. There appears to be no evidence of retouch on any of the flints. The total weight of the assemblage is 65.3g.The varying forms and levels of patination suggest a wide date range for this assemblage. It is worthy of note that they were found in association with two probable Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic tools (BH-A9FCF8 and BH-A9E5A5) and it is probable that the blades are roughly contemporary. Broader, less regular flakes are generally associated with the later Neolithic and early part of the Bronze Age. One of the flakes has clearly originated from a bladelet core and may be Mesolithic to Early Neolithic in date.
