Description: | Lithic blade core of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. This light grey-cream flint has been knapped to form a two platform core (bipolar or opposed platforms). Fine blades are removed from the dorsal surface of a large flake that forms the core. The ventral surface is completely covered in light brown cortex. There is some evidence for platform preparation and impact ripples cover the dorsal face. The core dimensions are 70.84mm long, 51.65mm wide, 19.33mm thick and it weighs 66.14 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
