Description: | Grey flint with cortex core. Pyramidal core with long thin parallel flakes trimmed by unidirectional working from a flat oval striking platform. Misty patina has developed, more densely over the striking platform and to a lesser degree where bladelets have been removed. This may suggest a nodule was recovered a period after it was originally detached from a larger flint, and that the core was eventually incorporated into a sealed context after a shorter interval of time. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Height: 28.2mm, Width: 36.6mm, Thickness: 27.5mm, Weight: 25.45gms.
