Description: | Grey translucent flint of good quality. Debitage, from hard hammer work. Two curved flakes (a and b). The larger (a) has three parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side, and a tiny patch of relict cortex; its removal from the core was at a different angle to the initial trimming. The smaller has three long parallel flake removal scars, and a marked bulb of percussion on the ventral side, showing all working was in the same direction. The fresh condition of these fragments may argue their recent disturbance from a sealed context. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.a) Length: 30.6mm, Width: 9.4mm, Thickness: 3.8mm, Weight: 0.93gms.b) Length: 25.4mm, Width: 11.1mm, Thickness (at bulb): 3.2mm, Weight: 0.82gms.
