Description: | Two flint cores probably dating from the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods, about 9000 BC - 3300 BC.1. A flint cylindrical core with two striking platforms positioned opposite each other (bipolar) from which mainly narrow blades have been removed. It is formed on mottled light grey opaque flint with some cortex and large white inclusions. The core is sub-circular to sub-square in section, and is rectangular in plan. It is 40.7mm long, 22.9mm wide, 22.7mm thick. 27.66g.2. A flint irregular core with most of the removals from one striking platform, at other angles from at least two other places. Most of the removals are narrow blades, or large flakes, perhaps intended to rejuvenate the core. It is formed on dark semi-translucent flint with significant cortex remaining, and large grey inclusions. The inclusions and fractures in the flitn may have led to it being abandoned before being worked out. The core is oval in section and sub-rectangular in plan, one face being the convex outer fact of the flint nodule. It is 41.3mm long, 41.2mm wide and 30.7mm thick. 65.3g.
