Description: | A flint core of probable late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date.
The core is large and of rough appearance. The flint itself, which is mottled brownish-grey in colour, contains natural flaws and is generally of poor quality. At the top is a small and irregular platform and the scars extending downwards from here suggest that it was used for the manufacture of short, broad flakes. The core has only been worked on one side, the other side retaining much of the original cortex.
The object measures 49.1mm high, 59.4mm wide and 35.5mm thick. The weight is 106.08g. | Subjects: | Flint core | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
