Description: | A knapped flint piece of core, likely of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, c. 10,000 - 2350 BC. It appears that this flint once formed part of a core, with narrow, vertical blades removed from the outer edge. The flint is black which grey inclusions and has white cortex forming along the outer edge. This may have been a flake removed to rejuvenate a core that had stopped producing useable flakes. It measures 38.6 mm in length, 25.4 mm wide, 12.6 mm thick and weighs 13.5 g.
