Description: | Two central sections of knapped flint tertiary blades, probably of Mesolithic date. Parallel aris and ripple marks running down the dorsal faces suggest previous parallel removals from the same platform. On one the flint has developed a white patina that covers the straight snap at the proximal end. The snap at the distal end is more recent and reveals the flint is mid-grey. It is 32.4mm long, 13.2mm wide and 4.2mm thick; it weighs 2.08 grams. The second has an impact mark in the centre of the snap at the proximal end and a slightly irregular, partly hinged fracture at the distal end. It is on mid-grey fint with large pale mottles. It is 17.0mm long, 11.3mm wide and 2.5mm thick; it weighs 0.57 grams.
