Description: | Three flint blades with small areas of possibly retouch.First blade measures 58.8mm long, 24.3mm wide, 7.1mm thick and it weighs 11.42grams. A thin rectangular blade. It has a clear bulb of percussion and percussion waves on the ventral face and arrises from previous removals on the dorsal face. There is cortex remaining down one edge. In the centre of the opposite edge on the ventral face is a possible area with short scalar retouch. The flint is dark grey with paler mottling.Second blade measures 41.9mm long, 17.3mm wide, 3.5mm thick and it weighs 3.81grams. Distal end of a longer blade with multiple parallel arises on the dorsal face and cortex remaining at the distal end. There is a step about half way down the right edge (looking at the ventral face) which may be deliberately created in an attempt to snap the blade. Dark - pale grey mottled flint.Third blade measures 25.8mm long, 18.7mm wide, 4.5mm thick and it weighs 2.56grams. Snapped proximal end of a blade with clear bulb of percussion on the ventral face and parallel arises on the dorsal face. There is damage to both edges but a larger notch one third of the way up the right edge (from the dorsal face) may be from a deliberate attempt to snap the blade. Dark grey flint with small pale grey mottling.
