Full Description

44 worked flints (from fieldwalking). The flint could all belong to the late neolithic (/ early bronze age, see fig 4). Retouched pieces include scrapers on hard hammer struck flakes, a steeply retouched disc scraper, flakes with faceted butts, flakes edge retouched to form knives and a borer. One flake from working a bifacially retouched implement. Only one flake is corticated, and then the cortication is partly removed by later retouch. Apart from this reused piece, there are no pieces from any earlier horizons. (1)
