摘要：An assemblage of 312 pieces of chipped stone was
recovered during the excavation. These items were
mostly recovered from Iron Age settlement features
(see Section 3.1), although it has not been possible
to identify the contexts of recovery in all cases. The
assemblage was analysed using a modification of a
system developed previously (Wickham-Jones 1990),
refined in a number of studies by the author. Most of
the diagnostic material appears to reflect Mesolithic
activity, with some Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age
forms also present. However, the assemblage shows
evidence for a wide range of techniques, suggesting
that knapping from many periods may be represented.
This allows for the possibility that at least some of the
material is directly related to the Iron Age settlement
(see Young & Humphrey 1999 for a recent review of
the use of chipped stone tools in the Iron Age).
