Description: | A flint core probably Neolithic in date, dating to 4500-1500BC. The core has had several flakes removed from multiple platforms. A dark grey flint with a creamy/yellow cortex covering c.2/3 of the surface of the core. The core measures 76.08x72.01x46.11mm and its weight is in excess of 200g. The flints represent the primary waste from the manufacture of artefacts such as scrapper and arrowheads. The cores and flakes are knapped from pebbles and cobbles suggesting the use of local river gravels. The conditions vary from fresh to rolled and stained probably due to the different soils they have originated from.
