The flint assemblage is predominantly debitage (Table 2), with only two complete cores and two recognisable tools present (Fig. 7.1 and 3). The debitage is mostly hard hammer-struck flakes. These tend to be of a large size, and exhibit broad platforms and large bulbs of percussion. Although many have prominent ripples on the ventral face, there are proportionately few hinge fractures. Apart from a few exceptions, the soft hammer-struck flakes also have large platforms, but generally have diffuse bulbs of percussion and lips. This could indicate that these were struck with a soft stone hammer rather than one of antler. Two hard hammer-struck flakes and six soft hammer-struck flakes, together with two of the hard hammer-struck blades have evidence of platform preparation. One soft hammer-struck flake may be an axe-thinning flake.
   Two cores and two core fragments were also found, all coming from the burnt debris deposit, context 55. The cores are both flake cores, and have two and three platforms respectively (Table 2). The two-platform core has also been utilised as a hammerstone, while the three-platform core has some evidence of platform preparation.
   There is some evidence in the assemblage that care was taken during the
