Title
Twenty Mesolithic 'microburins' (dorsal view)
Description
English: A group of twenty flint Mesolithic bladelet fragments created through transverse lateral or diagonal snapping, probably microburins - waste from the production of microliths from bladelets. The artefacts measure between c. 11.1 and 24.3mm long. They are generally sub-rectangular, or sub-trapezoidal. Most of the pieces have either two or three longitudinal scars on the dorsal face giving them a triangular or trapezoidal cross-section respectively; on others there is further working. On many the bulb of percussion is visible; others are identifiably distal. The colours range through the greys, from light, whitish to dark. It is noted that they have been formed crudely, mainly through snapping. They therefore do not conform to conventional microburin forms.
