Description: | A keeled core of mottled cream grey flint with a thin section and pebble cortex on the right margin. Flakes of thin section have been produced from both sides of an acute, sharp platform by standing the core on a hard anvil stone and striking the top. This has also flaked the bottom of the core as well as both sides. Where a complete length flake has been produced, the ripples converge to the medial , straightening as they move from focii at the top and bottom of the core. The exhausted core has formed a handy blank for a side scraper which has been finely semi-abruptly worked down the entire left margin.Bond(2004) illustrates a keeled core on page 138, fig.5.125, F5.
