Description: | Three core rejuvenation flakes, dating to the late Mesolithic to Middle Neolithic period (circa 6300-2500 BC). 1) 47.4g 2) 43.1g 3) 12.5g. The smallest flake has been illustrated, see attached. These flakes are formed when a core can no longer have flakes removed from it due to the angles on the striking platform. In order to make the core usable again the flint knapper would remove a flat flake from across the top of the core to ?tidy up? the striking platform and make it usable again. | 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: | -6300
