Description: | Single Platform Core on light grey pebble flint. The core has a ventral and dorsal face. The ventral face still has the bulb of percussion and platform present. A hinged fracture forms the distal end of the piece. There is a notch on the left lateral edge however it remains uncertain as to if it was deliberate or not. There is gloss on the proximal end. The dorsal face contains both flake and blade removals. There has been retouching of the distal end on the right margin and on the left margin near the proximal end. A secondary amount of cortex covers part of the left lateral edge and continues onto the distal end. There is retouch at the proximal end on the face at 90 degrees to the platform.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 120, Fig 5.104, No 78 which dates to the Later Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic.
