The lithic assemblage presented for study was derived from the
'plough-zone', 'topsoil' and 'excavated features' and was
collected in three seasons of excavation, 1972, 1973, and 1977.
There is no direct record of distribution across the site other
than any zonal patterning that might be derived from the year of
excavation and trench description. In total, 179 pieces of
worked material were individually described in a single
inventory (see archive); a single piece was identified as a
chert and the remainder was flint. The assemblage composition is
summarised in two parts: that derived from excavated features,
and that from the plough-zone and topsoil (Table 3). This was a
small assemblage, with roughly equal numbers recovered from the
plough-zone (83) and excavated features (96). The differences in
composition between the plough-zone and excavated features were
of interest, in that the number of broken flakes was not greatly
different, suggesting that ploughing was not the general cause
of breakage. The numbe
