Description: | A possible knapped flint core. In section the core is sub-oval and in plan it is a sub pointed-oval. There is no obvious striking platform, and one face appears to be created through recent damage rather than knapping. There is an area on the core which has developed a heavy read/brown patina, and there is also an area of cortex. The remaining flint is a mottled grey/brown colour. The heavy patina perhaps implies the core was re-used at a later date. The surface of the core has mainly vertical negative scars and fewer, smaller obliquely angled ones. The core weighs 31.08g and measures 46.29mm long and 26.13mm wide. If this is a core, it dates to the Mesolithic to early Bronze Age (-8300 to -1500).
