Description: | A group of 3 flint worked flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular in plan and concaveo-convex in section. Lithics no 1 and 2 contain a small amount of cortex (on the distal end of the dorsal surface in lithic no. 1 and on the proximal edge of lithic no. 2) and are therefore secondary flakes. Lithic no. 3 retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flakes are a grey brown in colour. The cortex is a light grey/cream.Dimensions: No. 1: Length- 10.99mm, Width- 6.02mm, Thickness- 2.81mm, Weight- 0.2gNo. 2: Length- 11.83mm, Width- 5.49mm, Thickness- 2.59mm, Weight- 0.1gNo. 3: Length- 9.79mm, Width- 5.25mm, Thickness- 1.94mm, Weight- 0.1g
