Description: | A probably knapped flint core. In plan the core is sub-semi-circular with a flat platform as the upper edge. In section it is a sub-circular which gradually decreases in size towards the base. The sides of the core have multiple negative flake scars with a strip of cortex also remaining. The core is made from a dark grey/brown coloured flint. The core weighs 7.9g. It measures 18.15mm from the upper to the lower edge and 22.22mm wide. Phil Watson (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) comments the core is likely to date to the Mesolithic period (-8300 to -4500).
