Description: | A flint core of Mesolithic date. It measures 37.8mm high by 20.3mm wide and 18.8mm thick. It has a roughly semi-circular striking platform at the top and, apart from one broad vertical face (probably not a flake removal scar), has been shaped by the removal of numerous slender vertical flakes which would have been used to manufacture small bladelets. The flint is slightly weathered and is of a light blueish grey colour. A small area of cortex remains at the bottom. It weighs 22.76g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -8300
