Alternate Code & Name: Borrow Pit 3
Foot surveys around Borrow Pits 1 - 5 produce modest lithic samples that most probably reflect a slow accretion postdating the calcretes. Artefacts are mainly based on banded ironstone and brown jasper, vary from fresh to lightly worn and are entirely comprised of smallish irregular flakes, and cores which include some of radial form. These latter, as also the absence of blades and convergent points, are taken to suggest, despite the lack of bifaces, that much of this material relates to the ESA.
