Title
DUR-05CD2C: Microburin: Mesolithic
Description
English: A group of ten microburins of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular and sub-triangular in profile and plano-convex and rectangular in section. Across the group there are a small number of negative scars with corresponding arrises on the dorsal surfaces. The ventral surfaces are largely smooth with minimal features, although there is some evidence of point of impact and cracking ripples. There appears to have been some abrupt retouch to the mesial portion of some of the lithics. There is no cortex present and all are tertiary.

The lithics range in colour from dark grey to light grey/brown, with multiple light grey inclusions.
