Find Spot record 955/1/0 - Unstratified Mesolithic/Neolithic Flint

{1} Residual material comprising worked flint and debitage of this period was contained within several features. Unstratified surface finds included a re-touched blade-like flake with a lateral margin, steeply blunted with a series of invasive flakes removed, suggestive of an abandoned attempt at arrowhead manufacture. (A similar residual fragment was also retrieved from a beam slot in Area 4.)
Plotting of the location of the early surface and residual lithic finds indicates a definite eastern bias to the distribution, suggesting perhaps an earlier presence in this part of the site not marked by the survival of archaeological features.
