Extract

The flint artifacts have not been the subject of detailed analysis and the type of deposit in which tney were found creates obvious problems of establisning to what extent we are dealing with a contemporary assemblage. Although the stratigraphic and spatial distribution of the material does suggest that much of it is contemporary with the Beaker pottery. Basic numerical information about all the flints has been given in mf 6, and the writer has examined the 260 retouched pieces with the specific objective of establisning what defined tool types are present and making some observations on their chronological range by reference to other sites. It is to be hoped that one day the assemblage will be studied in more detail and it is available for this purpose at Lewes museum (Accession No.1978:38).
