Description: | Flint core of Mesolithic date (9000 - 4000 BC). The core has been formed from a brown coloured piece of flint which has cortex remaining on the inner curved face. The core is cylindrical and curved in shape, and oval in section. There are two bi-polar striking platforms at opposite ends of the chunk, at oblique angles to each other. Narrow blades have been removed from the outer curved side of the core from both ends by parallel striking. There is evidence of platform dressing to the edges of the smaller striking platform. The core is 46.4mm long x 31.2mm wide x 22.7mm thick and weighs 38.6g.
