The article explores a Mesolithic flint assemblage discovered during CFA’s excavations at Maryport, Cumbria. Beneath a level of Romano-British activity, 37 cut features were identified and a quantity of lithics recovered. As most of the evidence for Mesolithic activity in the north of England has previously been centred on the Pennines, this find represents a significant discovery for Cumbria and the northwest region and greatly expanded our knowledge of the Mesolithic period.
