File:1666 Lithic implements (FindID 179611).jpg

English: 1) 6 Blades average size length 23mm, width 11mm, thickness 4mm. Three have one arise, the other 4 have two arises, soft hammered bulb on the ventral. Four have a creamy patina, one is a grey flints with a speckled patina and the last is a brown flint with a speckled creamy patina. These objects dates to the Early Mesolithic.

2) 13 Truncated blades average size length 18mm, width 12mm, thickness 4mm. Half have one arise on the dorsal, the rest have two arises on the dorsal, soft hammered bulb on the ventral. Most are proximal sections, these are all old breaks. Most have a light creamy-grey patina, one is a brown flint with a patina forming. These objects dates to the Early Mesolithic.

3) 5 Leaf-shaped average size length 25mm, width 20mm, thickness 6mm. All have multiple flaking scars covering the dorsal and ventral and all have an oval cross-section. Three of the arrowheads are leaf-shaped, these artefacts date to the Neolithic. The last is a barbed and tanged arrowhead which dates to the late Bronze Age. All are grey fling with a creamy patina.

4) 1 Awl length 47mm, width 25mm, thickness 8mm. One arise on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral. Short, direct, scaled retouch down the right side which terminates in a point. Grey patina with light brown patch on one side. This artefact date to the Neolithic.

5) 4 Scrapers average size length 25mm, width 24mm, thickness 8mm. Three end scrapers and one side scraper. Three have one arise on the dorsal and the last has two arises. All have direct, semi-abrupt, scaled retouch, the end scrapers have convex terminals. All artefacts have a light creamy grey patina. These objects date to the Neolithic.

6) 6 Notched pieces average size length 32mm, width 18mm, thickness 4mm. Two are notches on blades, which have a creamy patina and date to the Mesolithic. The others are notched flakes which date to the Bronze Age, two are grey flints with 40% cortex and the other two have a creamy patina, knapping has removed the patina on these examples. All have direct, semi-abrupt retouch that creates a small concave notch.

7) 2 flakes average size length 27mm, width 22mm, thickness 5mm. Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, bulb on the ventral. Both have short, low-angled retouch on one side. One has a creamy patina with a large grey patch, the other is a grey flint with a patina forming and dark grey patches, both have 5% cortex. These artefacts date to the Neolithic-Bronze Age.

8) 4 Microlith average size length 13mm, width 8mm, thickness 2mm. One arise on the dorsal. Creamy-grey patina. These artefacts date to the Late Mesolithic.

9) 6 Miscellaneous retouch average size length 17mm, width 14mm, thickness 4mm. 2 have 20% cortex on the dorsal, bulb of percussion on the ventral. All have short, low angled flaking scars along one edge. Two have a creamy patina, two have a grey patina and the last are grey flint with a creamy patina just forming. All probably date to the Neolithic-Bronze Age

10) 2 Core rejuvenation flake length 32mm, width 21mm, thickness 13mm. Multiple flaking scars cover the dorsal, these are long thin and run in one direction, prepared striking platform at the top. Creamy patina with grey patches. This artefact dates to the Late Mesolithic-Neolithic.

11) 3 Cores average size length 37mm, width 33mm, thickness 27mm. Multiple flaking scars that are taken from a number of directions cover the whole artefact. All have a light creamy-grey patina. These may date from the Late Mesolithic but are most likely Neolithic.

12) 32 fragments of debitage. (not photographed) 11 Secondary flakes. average size length 27mm width 13mm, thickness 4mm. Most have a light grey patina, two have a creamy patina, all have less then 50% cortex remaining. Date Prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.

21 Tertiary flakes, average size length 20mm, width 18mm, thickness 7mm. Most have a light grey patina, four have a light brown colour. Date prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.
