Full Description

Trench 1. The densities of worked stone are very low, no more than background noise. 12 worked pieces, 5 are secondary flakes. One is a blade-like flake with trimmed platform. A small core may be a rather poor example of the small bladelet / flake cores that have been identified in later Mesolithic contexts. (1)
