Full Description
Scatter of worked flints recorded by fieldwalking in January 2019 as part of the Mesolithic Deeside project. A total of 75 flints were recovered, including cores, blades and flakes. Fieldwalking in 1992 had not located any flints in this field. Four lithics were found in 2003. Two flint flakes had been recovered by S Durris in 2017. This is one of 11 fields walked at Wester Durris as part of the Mesolithic Deeside project, the lithic scatter assemblage from these dominated by elements suggesting Late Neolithic and Bronze Age activity.
