Description: | A Neolithic flint pebble core dating to 4500-1500BC. The dark grey, ovoid in section, flint core has c.50% of its cortex remaining and has had a number of flakes removed. It measures 53.39mm in length, 57.87mm wide, 43.45mm thick and weighs 148.96g.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.
