Artefacts

D17 (pit, phase 4) Text D.5.

Chert form the Upper Greensand. Heavily battered - an effect unlikely to have been produced by natural causes. This type of chert is found in Dorset, and chert beds are reported to occur from the Maiden Newton area westwards. Lumps the size of this and D. 39 below are likely to have been imported. The chert beds of the Upper Greensand lie below the Chalk.
