Description: | Five pieces of flint debitage of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date (c. 8000 - 3500 BC). The assemblage consists of two blades and three flakes. The blades measure 32.74mm and 27.02mm in length and 13.76mm and 12.25mm in width. Both are struck off secondary flakes and retain between <5 - 15% cortex. The flakes vary in length between 31.72mm and 21.69mm and in width between 23.48mm and 19.06mm. Two flakes are struck off secondary flakes and retain between <5 - 10% cortex.Where bulbs of percussion are visible, they are diffuse, indicating soft hammer working. The pieces vary in colour from a semi-transulcent light grey to a mottled dark grey colour. There is no evidence of retouch on any of the pieces.The collective weight of the assemblage is 13.49g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
