Full Description
In total 26 lithic artefacts, comprising 1 handaxe (with a broken tip) and 25 waste flakes, were recovered during the monitoring work at the surgery site. Two of these were surface finds from the gravel brought to the surgery site from elsewhere, two were from a dumped and reworked sand while the remaining 22 were from the gravels in the north west corner of the site. They were concentrated in ta 15cm thick lens within an area of 2m by 1m. despite this concentration, there is no indication that the artefacts belong to a particular knapping event. They are all abraded, none of them refit to each other and the cortical remnants suggest different pieces or raw material are present. (1)
