Description: | A Neolithic flint core, dating to 4500-1500BC. A large dark grey core fragment with some cortex remaining on the dorsal side. There core has had some post depositional damage. The core measures 110.93mm in length, 81.56mm wide, 43.85mm thick and weighs in excess of 200g.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.
