Full Description
Nine pieces of struck flint weighing 148g were found during an evaluation at Chilmington Green, Ashford. The small assemblage is fairly coherent and indicates an early prehistoric presence at the site ranging from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic. No contexts produced more than one piece of flint, and it is likely that the flintwork represents redeposited material. Two diagnostic pieces were recovered; a microlith and a polished axe reused as a multiplatform flake core. The remaining pieces consist of five flakes, including a core face / edge rejuvenation flake and two blades including a retouched blade. (1)
