Full Description
227 pieces (of Neo/BA worked flint) were recovered from surface contexts and 28 from sub surface / ploughzone contexts. Technologically, this assemblage can be characterised in general as primarily concerned with the production of flakes and narrow blade-like flakes. Also a fragment which may represent a whetstone fashioned on a fragment of ground stone axe. (1)
