There are also rare amounts of sub-rounded and well-sorted red and black iron oxides measuring less than 0.5mm. The fabric has been tempered with a common amount (30%) of sub-angular well-sorted calcined flint measuring between 0.25mm and 2mm. There are also rare larger flints measuring less than 5mm.
