Description: | A group of 3 flint waste flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithics no. 1 and 3 retain some cortex (along the right hand edge on lithic 3 and at the proximal end of both) and are therefore secondary flakes. Lithic no. 2 retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flakes are a dark grey in colour. The cortex is a light grey/cream.
