Description: | A group of nineteen flint Mesolithic bladelet fragments created through transverse lateral or diagonal snapping, possibly used as microlithic components of larger objects. The artefacts measure between c. 12.6 and 28.5mm long. They are generally sub-rectangular, by definition. Most of the pieces have either two or three longitudinal scars on the dorsal face giving them a triangular or trapezoidal cross-section respectively; on others there is further working. The colours range through the greys, with one a browner hue in places. Only on one piece (that top left on the image) is there evidence of retouching along one side. It is noted that they have been formed crudely, mainly through snapping. They therefore do not conform to conventional microlith forms.
