One of a great deal of flints that have been found on the site. Some of which were found in the backfill of Wilmotts trenches. This could have a couple of reasons. Firstly it shows he wasn’t interested in what the flint could tell us (“Call me if it’s shiny”), showing he was purely interested in grave goods buried in the Barrows therefore chucked the flints, or he was that intent on getting the trenches emptied and down to the gravegoods he never even noticed them. Flints have come in a range of forms, arrows, spear points, scrapers, blades among many others and also a lot of debitage has been found as a result of the knapping process. The flint has been shown to have travelled a distance to the site from the Yorkshire Wolds roughly 8miles away and in the other direction it has come from a considerable distance away at Flambrough.
