Description: | Two pieces of knapped flint cores. Both are dark grey flint with paler mottling. Both show evidence of small removals form several directions, typical of this area where a shortage of flint means pieces are worked down to small remnants. They are not diagnostic and may be Mesolithic to Bronze Age in date although a date later in this range seems more likely.1. Distal end of a core. Scars suggest parallel blades were removed working towards a point but then there were several further removals across the platform at the top, possibly after it was removed from a larger piece. It weighs 10.59g.2. Chunk showing multi-directional working with removals and scars from mis-strikes in several directions. An area of cortex survives down one side covering c. 25% of the surface. This suggests it is pebble flint. It weighs 23.06g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
