Description: | A single platform core which has had blades and flakes struck off all around with a step fracture where a flake broke while being struck. It is rather messy looking with crushed, abraded platform edge which probably stopped further work on this flint core. There is still some cortex remaining.The flint is dark grey in colour with lighter grey inclusions and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 87, fig.31, No.1 which is dated to the Mesolithic.
