Description: | A thick hard hammer struck flake of translucent dark brown flint, removed transversely from the edge of a flaking face of a core.The abraded platform edge and truncated flake scars are carried away on the dorsal face. A few flakes have been struck in the opposite direction into the platform edge, in the manner of a chopper core. This core tablet was likely to rejuvenate the core by starting a new, slightly oblique platform. The waste flake was re-used for its sharp dorsal tip and margins. The distal tip has some fine retouch and the ventral surface some shallow discontinuous removals. Butler(2005) illustrates a core tablet on page 87, fig 31, 6.
