File:Five Mesolithic flint implements (FindID 195666).jpg

English: Five different flint implements all from the same location within an area known to have large numbers of Mesolithic flints on the surface. There are two scrapers and three microliths, all of the same dark grey flint common to the locality. The scraper is quite large and crescent shaped, but only half the cortex has been removed on the dorsal face, exposing only the cutting edge, while all of it has been removed on the ventral face. The cortex runs almost exactly along the halfway line of the object, presenting a possibly deliberately contrasting effect. One of the microliths exhibits a similar manufacture, with the cortex being left on the area which would have been hafted. L.: 47.97mm, W.: 28.52mm, Th.: 12.68mm, Wt.: 17.1g

This microlith appears almost as if two different shapes had been placed together: with one long crescent of a cutting edge pasted upon a rectangular base. A similar example, albeit smaller, in shape may be found in Bond (2002, 104; ref. 65). L.: 40.91mm, W.: 20.25mm, Th.: 7.87mm, Wt.: 6.03g

The next microlith is trapezoidal in shape (a geometric form) and is slightly lighter than its fellows, with some small patinisation on the distal end of the dorsal face. There are three clear removal marks, and, again, it is almost bladelike in appearance. L.: 21.91mm, W.: 9.94mm, Th.: 3.04mm, Wt.: 0.76g

The final microlith is also of this lighter grey colour, and once again shows patinisation on the left side of the dorsal face. It is somewhat irregular in shape but conforms just enough to the geometric scalene triangle type to be classified as such (Bond 2002, 97). L.: 37.24mm, W.: 20.96mm, Th.: 4.3mm, Wt.: 2.8g

The end-scraper is rectangular with one straight and one rounded cutting edge. It is of the same dark grey flint, and is similar to examples in Bond (2002, 112; ref. 23) albeit a little more extended in shape. L.: 25.09mm, W.: 15.12mm, Th.: 3.9mm, Wt.: 1.89g
