LITHIC IMPLEMENT

Unique ID: BERK-7EBFF2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

A collection of thirteen (13) core preparation fragments, mostly primary removals. All are probably Mesolithic - Neolithic in date and have a combined weight of 96.4gms. These lithics were found in association with other artefacts of a similar date. As with the majority of the assemblage, the grey-blue core and white cortex suggests a chalk downland origin as the flint source.
