Description: | Thirty-six medium size struck flakes (length less than 60mm, width less than 46mm) mostly secondary and tertiary hard hammer struck and unpatinated, some also exhibit retouch or damage to the edges.Thirteen small flakes and blade-like flakes (length less than 35 mm, width less than 15 mm) mostly tertiary with three secondary and almost all are hard hammer struck and unpatinated, some exhibit fine use wear or damage to the edges.Four hard hammer struck and unpatinated mottled grey flint piercers or borers made from tertiary flakes retouched steeply into points at the distal end. Smallest: 31 x 14 x 4 mm, largest: 63 x 30 x 9 mm.Two small worked-out cores of dark grey unpatinated flint, one is single platform and the other is opposed platformed with a small patch of cortex extant. All flake scars appear hard or semi-hard hammer struck.The above assemblage is typical of the Neolithic to Bronze Age flake tools and debitage; although the cores and some of the blades are small, there is a lack of diagnostic Mesolithic features to date them any earlier. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
