Description: | A flint blade core of possible Mesolithic to Neolithic date. It is struck from a dark grey to black flint, is conical in form, with one flattened platform and cortex remaining on one edge. The remaining edges have multiple narrow parallel blade scars. This core measures 41.94mm in length, 33.10mm in width, 25.73mm in thickness, and 39.77g in weight. This is a core probably from the manufacture of blades or long flakes, suggesting that it is likely to date to the later Mesolithic to Neolithic periods, perhaps c.7000-2550 BC.
