Description: | A chert core of probable Mesolithic date, about 10,000 BC - 4000 BC. It is formed on light grey mottled chert. It is irregularly shaped, sub-cylindrical and has many blade removal scars. These are mainly from two, bipolar striking platforms, but there are a few struck at right angles. There are some signs of possible platform dressing at the proximal end (as photographed). It is 45.4mm long, 30.6mm wide and 22.3mm thick. It weighs 43.11gm.
