Description: | Two pieces of flint debitage, probably Mesolithic in date. Both are formed of a mid-dark brown flint with flecks of dark grey. The cortex is still present on one example, with a thick dark grey band in the flint at the border with the cortex. The cortex is a light grey colour. The flint with the cortex has traces of a bulb of percussion with the cortex being on the dorsal side. There are possible traces of retouch on the dorsal and ventral sides, though this may be natural damage. The other flint has more defined features. A bulb of percussion, three dorsal ridges and a fair amount of retouch on the dorsal side. There is a slight white mottled pattern on one face, which may be evidence of the presence of cortex. Dimensions: Flint with cortex - length: 39.87 mm; width: 20.60 mm; thickness: 11.21 mm; weight: 7.38g.Flint without cortex - length: 39.64 mm; width: 27.09 mm; thickness: 9.23 mm; weight: 7.52g.
