Full Description

A fairly dense scatter of worked flint, over an area of about 10Ha (main scatter) above the Stroom Dyke. Basically matches other scatters in Vale. Scrapers predominate, few cutting implements, small number of borers, burins, cores. Waste material. A small number of implements are heavily patinated, especially flakes and blade fragments, which have often been re-flaked, through the patination, at a later date. Scrapers are often made from blades. Hence, there appear to be 2 phases of occcupation (at least) with re- shaping of tools from the main scatter at a later date. (1)
