Full Description

Fieldwalking - The material from field 8 contained a high proportion of Wolds type flint. This material is not diagnostic of date, but the use of this raw material, the presence of three blades and the highly localised cluster of material, all suggest an Earlier Mesolithic assemblage. (1)
