Description: | Opaque grey flint with cortex core. The finder kindly suggests this to be a discoidal core of late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, citing Butler, C. (2012), Prehistoric Flintwork, page 156, plate 65 no. 7. Large flakes are removed from both sides by multi-directional angled hard hammer strike. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context soon after its deposition. In view of the mediocre quality both of the material and its working, this reporter would prefer to assign a broad Bronze Age date, while admitting the earlier part of that period may be more likely. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC.Length: 50.3mm, Width: 43.5mm, Thickness: 21.6mm, Weight: 38.25gms.
