Description: | A Neolithic flint core, dating to 4500-1500BC. A grey/browny core fragment which has had some post depositional damage. The core measures 76.08x55.61x53.81mm and weighs 195.5g.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.
