Description: | This is a two platform flake core. The larger platform has flakes struck on all sides. The smaller opposing platform is concave from a hinge fracture. There is only tertiary cortex.The piece is made from a clerical grey flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 120 Fig 47 No 5 which he dates to the Neolithic era.
