Description: | A core worked on an irregular nodule of dark brown flint showing as slight edge damage to the overall cream patination. There is also redeposited chalk 'Coombe rock' on a natural thermal break facet. The flake removal technique is inconsistent and even incompetent. A flake has been removed through the cortex to use as a platform to remove a couple of blades. The platform has been facetted by removing another flake before hinged and feathered flakes were removed. Attempts to strike larger flakes from deeper into the platform have failed, leaving cracks. Further flakes have been removed from the cortex without any platform preparation. This appears to be an example of Later Bronze Age workmanship.
