Description: | Lower Paleolithic quartzite pebble chopper-core, 78mm long, 46mm wide and 39mm thick. The stone weighs 171grams and has been worked from three angles to remove at least 9 flakes to form a triangular point which appears to have some wear.We refer to these as chopper-cores as we can't be certain whether the whole object is being used or the flakes are being used as cutting tools.The object is part of a growing number of Quartzite tools which are being found in this area. Leicestershire museums holds the important Waite Collection of pebble tools which was found along, the Leicestershire/Warwickshire border.
