Description: | Mesolithic rejuvenation core flake (8300-3500 BC). The dorsal surface has multiple arrises and scars due to the removal of flakes. At the distal end some of the natural cortex survives. On the ventral surface the waves or ripples radiate from the proximal end however the bulb of percussion is not evident possibly due to the removal of redundant striking platforms. The rejuvenated striking platform shows multiple signs of preparation and at the distal end there are bulbous scars, suggesting an attempt was made to remove flakes from more than one platform on the core. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, Grant - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
