Description: | A Neolithic flint core, dating to 4500-1500BC. A light grey/brown core with one flake removed. The core is sub rectungular in section and sub oval in plan. There is slight patination and staining and some barnacles from being close to the shore. The core measures 59.58x47.84x31.36mm 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.
