Description: | A flint core, probably dating from the Neolithic period.No cortex remains on this flint core, all of the vertical surfaces showing scars from the removal of a number of broad blades. At the top is probable evidence of platform preparation. The platform itself is irregular and there is a possiblity that some flakes have been struck across it. At it's base, the core tapers to a wedge-shaped point. The flint is dark grey in colour and has no discernable patination. The piece measures 51.2mm high, 48mm wide and weighs 86.85g.
