Flint postscript

I received an email today from the NMI with pictures of 8 flints (of the 20 or so odd that I submitted) that they have identified as being worked. I believe they are Mesolithic in date though this was not confirmed in the email.

Nice one. Man those meso lithics are not easy to identify, especially when water rolled/weathered. I'd walk right by one. Only your example on the extreme left would I hope to spot.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
