English: 63 Lithic implements

1) Semicircular scrapper length 13mm, width 22mm, thickness 7mm. Semicircular forward edge with direct semi-abrupt scaled flaking scars Multiple flaking scares no bulb on the ventral and the reverse is truncated. Mid brownish/grey flint. This artefact probably dates to the Bronze Age.

2) Burnt flint length 19mm, width 17mm, thickness 9mm. Cracking throughout the flint, one side is truncated. Light grey patina with off white patches. This object dates to the Prehistoric Period.

3) Microlith length 11mm, width 7mm, thickness 2mm. One arise on the dorsal, bulb missing from the ventral, the forward and rear ends have been truncated so the only the medial section remains. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.

4) Possible microlith length 7mm, width 9mm, thickness 2mm. Two arises on the dorsal, soft hammered bulb on the ventral, this is truncated with only the proximal section remaining. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.

5) Truncated blade length 18mm, width 11mm, thickness 3mm. Two arises on the dorsal, bulb missing from the ventral, the forward and rear ends have been truncated due to frost damage so the only the medial section remains. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.

6) Truncated blade length 10mm, width 11mm, thickness 3mm. One arise on the dorsal, bulb missing from the ventral, the forward and rear ends have been truncated so the only the medial section remains. Mid grey patina, dark grey flint. Date Late Mesolithic.

7) Microlith length 11mm, width 8mm, thickness 1.5mm. One arise on the dorsal, soft hammered bulb on the ventral, the forward end has been truncated. Mid grey speckled patina. Date Late Mesolithic.

8) Horseshoe scrapper length 22mm, width 29mm, thickness 9mm. Three of the sides have a curved knapped face with is semi-abrupt, direct, scaled flaking scars. Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal and ventral surface. Light grey speckled patina with orange flecks. Date Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age.

9) 55 fragments of debitage. 21 Secondary flakes. average size length 24mm width 24mm, thickness 10mm. Most have a dark grey colour, one is mid brown, all have less then 50% cortex remaining. Date Prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.

34 Tertiary flakes, average size length 12mm, width 17mm, thickness 3mm. Most have a light grey colour with a light patina. Date prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.
