Core | SOM-B211A7 |
Mesolithic | Somerset |
xml | csv json |
| One knapped flint core and a chunk from a second core.

| Probably a Mesolithic microlith: short length of snapped blade with retouch. The snap at the proximal end is straight while the distal end and right edge (seen from the dorsal face) have snapped all the way down, leaving only a short length of the dorsal end. There is short, abrupt retouch down t... | |||||
