摘要：Two pieces of quartz (small finds 2 and 3) were recovered from below Skeleton 1 (primary cairn, context 007: Section 3.2). Both are pieces of tabular, opaque, milky quartz with occasional purplish veins. One (small find 2) displays areas of damage along two of its edges that may relate to crude retouch and/or extensive use. This piece also has a possible bulbar area, although it is difficult to be exact in this identification in tabular quartz. The second piece is less convincing as a worked item; however, if the first example is genuine, then the possibility that the second has also been struck must be considered. Overall, small find 2 may be deemed to be a probable example of struck quartz, while small find 3 would only be considered as a possible.
