Description: | A probable flint core knapped from a dark grey flint which now has developed a blue/light grey coloured patina. In plan the core is sub-oval with a striking platform at the proximal end. The proximal end also reveals a bulbous form of cortex within the flint, thereby forming a weakness. Another area of cortex within the flint is visible on the ventral surface. The ventral surface also has the bulb of percussion, concentric rings and bulbar scars. The dorsal surface has multiple vertical scars. The core weighs 13.5g. It measures 39.66mm from the upper to the lower edge and 29.78mm wide.The core is likely to date to the Mesolithic to Neolithic periods (-8300 to -2100).
