Title
DUR-0506E3: Microburin: Mesolithic
Description
English: Two complete, flint micro-burins of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular and sub-rectangular in profile and concave in section. On the dorsal surfaces there are a number of small negative scars with corresponding arrises. One of the lithics has been semi-abruptly retouched along the proximal. No cortex is present thus both lithics are tertiary.

The lithics are both light grey in colour with white/light grey inclusions throughout.
