Description: | A Mesolithic-Neolithic flint core, dating 8000-2200 BC. The flint is a mottled mid grey-brown. The core is rather battered and appears to have been struck from multiple angles. The dorsal side has three pronounced ridges running from the longest edges across the width of the core. This indicates four definite blades removes, with a possible fifth on the edge. On the ventral side are two distinct impact marks, with undulations radiating from each of the longest sides and meeting in the centre. There is significant damage along the two long edges of the core, though this will be post-depositional.Dimensions: length: 51.74 mm; width: 33.85 mm; thickness: 13.72 mm; weight: 29.98g.
