Description: | Black flint core with remains of cortex. Blades have been struck off in a somewhat haphazard way, suggesting that it was used for a short period and possibly by an inexperienced Mesolithic or Neolithic knapper. However this pattern of flaking, the size of the flakes, and the presence of so much cortex, make it more likely to be Bronze Age. It measures 50mm in length 39mm in width, 31mm in thickness and weighs 51.9 grms. The core dates from c7000 - c800 BC.
