Description: | A flake core of light grey brown and opaque cream pebble flint. The core has a single platform which has been worked three quarters of the way around. The platform edge is exceptionally abraded as though for more than just strengthening for flake removal. A section of it is straight and has gloss running from the edge down the flaking face. It may be that repeated brushing contact with a soft hammer like an antler have caused this whilst abrading the platform edge or was the edge prepared for the core face to be re-used for a planing or other rubbing duty? Mercer(1981) illustrates a core on page 121, fig 52, L26.
