Description: | A radial core worked from acute angled platforms on both sides around the periphery. The flint is dark grey with cream flecks.This core is possibly the result of a change in knapping strategy when a single platform core, worked all the way around has approached exhaustion and a few more flakes may be obtained. Finally a little semi-abrupt retouch shows re-use as a scraper.Butler(2005) illustrates a radial core with less parallel flaking; suggesting a single knapping strategy in that case, on page 156, fig.65, 7.
