Description: | Mesolithic multiplatform flint core. This flint nodule has had flakes and bladelets struck from at least four different platforms. One platform has evidence that six narrow bladelets were struck from it. Another platform is at 180 degrees to this with wider flakes being removed. The thrid visible platform is if you tun the core 90 degrees, and again shows traces of wider flake removal. The fourth visible platform is on the same plane as that for the bladelet removals, however one side of the nodule is slightly higher, and flakes have been removed from it. The core is roughly trapezoid in plan with a facetted sub-oval cross section. It measures 41.96mm by 40.12mm by 28.24mm and weighs 62.3 grams.
