Retouch on the forward edge and both sides, 5% cortex on the dorsal, creamy patina remains on the butt, the retouch has removed the rest of the patina exposing grey flint. Date Bronze Age.2, Side end scraper length 35mm, width 31mm, thickness 15mm. Retouch on the forward edge and both sides, grey flint with creamy patches. Date Late Neolithic-Bronze Age.3, Side end scraper length 30mm, width 26mm, thickness 8mm. Retouch on the forward edge and both sides creating a rectangular shape in plan, creamy grey flint. Date Late Neolithic-Bronze Age.4, Semi-circular scraper length 28mm, width 30mm, thickness 10mm. Retouch on the forward edge and both sides, dark grey fling with creamy patches, patina forming. Date Late Neolithic-Bronze Age.5, Side scraper length 37mm, width 23mm, thickness 10mm. Retouch on the forward edge and both sides, dark grey flint with creamy patches, patina forming. Date Late Neolithic-Bronze Age.6, Concave scraper length 39.5mm, width 28mm, thickness 9mm. Concave retouch on the forward edge this has removed the creamy patina, dark grey flint. Date Bronze Age.7, Base of a late Mesolithic conical core length 31mm, width 25mm, height 25mm. Long, thin flaking scars all knapped in one direction (from the top). Creamy patina covers the grey flint with creamy patches. 8, Core rejuvenation flake length 34mm, width 23mm, thickness 8mm. Long, thin flaking scars, all knapped from one direction, on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral. This is a rejuvenation flake from a Late Mesolithic bladelet core. Dark grey flint with lighter patches, 10% cortex on the side. 9, Core rejuvenation flake length 38mm, width 35mm, thickness 11mm. Long, thin flaking scars, all knapped from one direction, on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral. This is a rejuvenation flake from a Late Mesolithic blade core. Dark grey flint with lighter patches, 10% cortex on the side.10, Awl length 30mm, width 14mm, thickness 4mm. Low angled retouch on one side of the forward edge creating a point, dark grey flint with lighter patches. Date Bronze Age.11 Notched piece length 38mm, width 21mm, thickness 9mm. Concave notch on the right side with semi-abrupt retouch 9mm long. Very dark greyish brown flint with 30% cortex on the dorsal. Date Late Neolithic - Bronze Age. 12, Awl length 23mm, width 15mm, thickness 4mm. A point has been knapped on the forward edge with a concave notch on one side and a convex rounded edge on the other, both have semi-abrupt retouch. Patchy creamy patina, grey flint exposed where it has been retouched. Date Bronze Age.13, Side scraper length 51mm, width 22mm, thickness 7mm. Semi-abrupt retouch on the left side, 30% cortex on the right. Dark grey flint with lighter patches. Date Bronze Age. 14, Knife length 39mm, width 24mm, thickness 5mm. Multiple flaking scarp on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral, low angle retouch on the left side, 5% cortex on the tip. Grey flint with a patina staring to form. Date Late Neolithic - Bronze Age. 15, Knife length 39mm, width 24mm, thickness 5mm. Multiple flaking scarp on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral, low angle retouch on the left side, 5% cortex on the tip. Grey flint with a patina staring to form. Date Late Neolithic - Bronze Age.16, Reused blade length 21mm, width 12mm, thickness 4mm. One arise on the dorsal, low angled retouch both sides has removed the creamy speckled patina exposing brownish grey flint. 5% cortex on the butt. This was most likely a Late Mesolithic blade that has been reused in the Bronze Age. 17, Possible truncated blade length 21mm, width 15mm, thickness 2mm. Two arises on the dorsal, this is the distal section, light grey flint with patina forming. Date Late Mesolithic-Early Neolithic.18, Possible microlith length 11mm, width 11mm, thickness 2mm. This is the proximal end, one arise on the dorsal, grey flint with lighter speckles, patina forming. Date Late Mesolithic.19, Possible microlith length 12mm, width 10mm, thickness 2mm. This is the proximal end, one arise on the dorsal, creamy patina. Date Late Mesolithic.20, Retouched piece length 30mm, width 26mm, thickness 4mm. Short, low angled retouch on the forward edge. Dark grey flint with patina starting to form. Date Bronze Age. 21, Retouched piece length 31mm, width 26mm, thickness 5mm. Short, low angled retouch on the top half of the right side. Dark grey flint with patina starting to form, 5% cortex on the left side. Date Bronze Age. 22, arrowhead length 20mm, width 17mm, thickness 2.5mm. Lozenge shaped with a notch on the bottom left side, multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, Bulb of percussion on the ventral. Possible incomplete barbed and tanged arrowhead.
