Description: | Grey flint probable Core. Irregular elongated core bearing long parallel flake removal scars on both sides, probably all from soft hammer working from the same end, with broader flake removal scars on both sides from hard hammer working from one side. The object has been left with a lentoid section. There is no differentiation in the surface colour, suggesting these episodes to have been near-contemporary and the object protected from weathering thereafter. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 50.3mms, Width: 31.8mm, Thickness: 13.8mm, Weight: 17.91gms.
