Description: | Mesolithic to Neolithic (8300 - 2100BC) debitage in the form of five tertiary flakes:1. Tertiary flake: The ventral face has conchoidal ripples but the bulb of percussion is missing. The dorsal surface has multiple scars. The flake is sub-triangular in plan. The flint is a mottled dark grey/light grey colour. 32.26mm long, x 21.36mm wide x 6.61mm thick, weighing 4.35g.2. Secondary flake: The ventral face has conchoidal ripples and a large bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface has multiple fine, scars which are perpendicular to the bulb of percussion on the reverse. The lateral edge has a thin patch of patina. 27.08mm long, x 33.5mm wide x 11.69mm thick, weighing 10.62g.3. Tertiary flake or possible blade: The ventral face has conchoidal ripples but the bulb of percussion is missing as it has been truncated. The ventral face has fissures. The dorsal surface has three vertical scars. The flake is sub-rectangular in plan. The flint is a mottled mid grey colour. 21.18mm long, x 17.14mm wide x 3.64mm thick, weighing 1.96g.4. Tertiary flake: The ventral face has conchoidal ripples, a medium bulb of percussion which also has a scar over it, so was probably, originally a large bulb. The dorsal surface has one main, central scar with incomplete scars along the edges. At the distal end there is a patch of patination which suggests the flake has been removed from an older piece of worked or damaged flint. The flake is sub-rectangular in plan. The flint is an opaque light brown/orange colour. 35.85mm long, x 26.79mm wide x 5.57mm thick, weighing 6.96g.
