Description: | A Neolithic flint core, dating to 4500-1500BC. A dark grey core from a long nodule with two platforms, one platform being stained. The core is sub rectungular in section and sub oval in plan. A number of flakes have been removed and scarring/ripples are evident from the non-stained platform. The core measures 59.49x46.57x34.09mm and weighs 119.52g.The flints represent the primary waste from the manufacture of artefacts such as scrapers 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.
