Upper Palaeolithic flint blade
This blade fragment was found in disturbed deposits in Trench A layer 1. It had broken into three pieces where it lay in the ground. The blade is not retouched and therefore it is not diagnostic. It is of a length and width (18.2mm) that would be acceptable to suggest it may be Upper Palaeolithic in date. It is, however, inpossible to say with any certainty whether this is of Early or Late Upper Palaeolithic age.
