Description: | Phil Watson (Principal Curator, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) identified the object being a Mesolithic or Neolithic core fragment dating to -8300 to -2100. The core has been knapped from a dark brown and beige coloured flint.
Only a fragment of the core remains. The object has been recently damage as there are large flat surfaces on the base and reverse of the sub-conical shaped core. These surfaces are matte whereas the knapped surfaces have a shiny texture. The front face of the ??conical?? has two vertical flake scars with three incomplete scars below. A patch of cortex remains on the core. It measures 14.74mm long, 31.11mm wide and 17.6mm thick. It weighs 8.55g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
