Description: | A group of eight struck flint flakes, undatable Prehistoric in date (from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age, c.500,000 BC to 800 BC), although the patination suggests a date later than the Palaeolithic. They are probably also from different sources, which suggests different dates.1) 75.26x32.65x10.58mm, 29.91g; dark grey patination and orange staining to the ventral face, 50% original pebble cortex on the dorsal face and c.3 flake removal scars.2) 83.71x26.07x14.95mm, 36.23g; patination stained an orangey colour, 50% cortex on the dorsal face and c.4 narrow flake removal scars.3) 74.83x36.89x8.79mm, 23.45g; heavy patination, 30% cortex to dorsal face (right side).4) 69.25x42.86x16.41mm, 37.42g; heavy patination, 40% cortex to dorsal face (left side).5) 75.34x36.89x12.68mm, 28.67g; 100% heavy patination, stained a light orangey colour.6) 35.96x30.19x7.22mm, 8.90g; 25% cortex on dorsal face and two flake removal scars.
