Description: | A cuboid flint nodule. Use if any is uncertain but the nodule could have been used as a hammerstone or some other tool. The nodule may not have been worked by man but the cuboid shape is interesting and possibly suggestive of human alteration rather than natural formation. If the nodule has been worked it is likely to have been chipped or pecked at to remove tiny angular pieces, rather than knapped which results in flakes being removed. If this object has been altered by man it is probably of Prehistoric date. This item needs to be looked at by a lithics specialist. Dimensions: 46.04mm by 41.93mm by 42.14mm, weight 124.50g. Similar to a more spherical nodule with PAS record number CAM-8DBD85. Also see PAS record WILT-860F03.
