Description: | Four possible borers or piercers of Mesolithic date.1) Extremely thin flint with small bulb of percussion and impact ripples along the ventral surface. The distal end has possible retouch creating a point. 28.35mm long, 9.45mm wide, 1.98mm thick. Weight 0.5 grams.2) An elongated triangular piece of flint with a visible point of percussion and impact ripples on the ventral surface. The right edge of the flint is covered in grey cortex. The left edge and dorsal surface has thin ridges where previous flakes have been removed. There is no obvious retouch to make the distal end into a point. It is 29.50mm long, 8.48mm wide, 3.59mm thick and weighs 0.9 grams.3) Sub-rectangular flint tapering to a point at the distal end. There is a small bulb of percussion and shallow impact ripples along the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has three ridges (arranged in a 'Y') where previous flakes have been removed and some scaring at the proximal end. There is retouch along the left hand edge towards the dorsal end, creating a point. It is 42.62mm long, 15.78mm wide, 3.83mm wide and weighs 2.2 grams.4) Sub-lozenge shaped flint with cortex along the proximal end with a pronounced bulb of percussion. There are ridges on the dorsal surface where previous flakes have been removed. Both the left and right edges have been retouched to create a point at the distal end. It is 43.21mm long, 21.69mm wide, 4.37mm thick and weighs 2.9 grams.
