Description: | A core with an acute edge allowing flake removals from each side. This process has continued on 2 edges until only a squat flake remains. The loss of the proximal and distal ends of many of the flake scars and the gentle convex curvature of the remaining pebble cortex suggests that this is the exhausted remnant of a large pebble. It is possible that the initial knapping strategy was different; ie a single platform core and that as the core neared exhaustion different methods were employed to maximise useful flakes. Cream grey flint pebbles like this are one of the common rescources in local Neolithic assemblages.Bond,2004 shows a keeled core on p.138, fig.5.125,5.
