Description: | Mesolithic flint multiplatform bladelet core. It is triangular in plan with a sub-oval cross section with faceted sides from removals. There is a natural concave depression in the flint on one of the striking-platforms with a chalk deposit adhering to the surface. If the core is turned 90 degrees, another striking platform has been made. Based on the positions and scaring from removals, there was possibly a third platform (removed by further strking) if the core is turned another 90 degrees. Some of the removed bladelets have left hinged terminations in the surface of the core. The flint is formed of reddish-brown and grey bands. There is a small amount of grey cortex adhering to one side of the core. It is 50.95mm long, measuring 39.39mm by 31.30mm across. It weighs 59.5 grams.
