The day was spent over at the National Oceanographic Centre working with Garry. My task was to help with the organising of samples from the Bouldnor Cliff site, off the Isle of Wight. At first I helped order photos already taken of samples and artefacts including laser imagery of some wood samples. Garry and I then discussed knapping (the chipping of flint) and what signs could be interpreted as proof of workmanship or being burnt.
I then went over to the cold store and photographed a selection of lithics (flints) which required pictures for the Bouldnor database. This gave me the opportunity to handle many different examples of lithics and get to handle 8,000 year old artefacts.
