Upper Palaeolithic flint blade
A blade found during wet-sieving sediments from the base of layer 3, overlying bedrock in Trench A. The blade is unworked, but is heavily patinated. Its lack of distinbguishing characteristics makes it impossible to determine whether or not this is of Early or Late Upper Palaeolithic age.
