Description: | A Mesolithic flint multi-platform core, dating to the period c.9000-4000 BC. It was probably used for the production of bladelets. It exhibits several striking platforms and exhibits negative flake scars which have been removed from several directions, however, the precise number of platforms is unclear due to post-depositional damage. The flint is dark grey-brown in colour and retains no cortex. The core measures 17.90mm in length, 18.53mm in width, 10.26mm in thickness and weighs 3.96g.
