Title
Two denticulates - dorsal face
Description
English: Two denticulate blades with several large notches down one side creating a sawing edge.

Piece 1 (on left in photo): Tertiary blade struck off a prepared platform with bulb of percussion, percussion waves and multiple arises from previous removals. There is irregular, abrupt scalar retouch down the right edge of the ventral face. In the left edge are three fairly regularly shaped notchs, two made by retouch off the ventral side and one off the distal. It is 39.4mm long, 20.7mm wide and 5.1mm thick, it weighs 3.60 grams. It is dark brown in colour. Piece 2 (on right in photo): Tertiary blade struck off a prepared platform with bulb of percussion, percussion waves and multiple arises from previous removals; the distal end is a hinge fracture. There is short, semi-abrupt scalar retouch down the distal end of the right edge of the dorsal face and on the proximal end of the same edge on the ventral face meaning the entire edge is retouched. There are four regularly spaced notches in the left edge of the dorsal face struck from the ventral side. These are probaby deliberate. It is 34.6mm long, 15.2mm wide and 5.3mm thick, it weighs 2.84 grams. It is dark reddish-brown in colour.

Other material in the vicinity includes some microliths as well as a bladelet core, small blades and flakes, some reworked into tools. In general the collection of material suggests a Mesolithic date (8300-3500 BC).
