ND16SE 88 168 609 and 168 611
ND 168 611; ND 168 609 Fieldwalking located two large discrete scatters with 400?500 lithics at each. Possibly mixed assemblage with certain Mesolithic component. Microliths and prismatic platform cores were found in addition to much small debitage and some larger, broader, thicker flakes. The former site occupies an elongated hillock at the top of a field by a natural spring. The latter site occupies a plateau and is downslope of an undulation running towards an uncultivated boggy area which may be another spring.
