None of the flakes showed signs of use. 
The cores that accompanied the flakes comprise 
two single platform cores, two others with a second 
flaking surface forming a ‘bifacial’ core, and a 
biconical/discoidal core. This suggests that no 
consistent form of core was produced, however the 
technique of flaking these cores produced flakes 
with squat proportions. Striking platforms were 
generally prepared although it is unclear how much 
deliberate faceting occurred during flake 
production. 
Scrapers 
The nine flake scrapers from pits 155 and 165 are 
welj made and comprise seven end scrapers (Figure 
5, 2), a discoidal scraper (Figure 5, 3) and one 
double end scraper (Figure 5, 4). Retouch is direct,
