CORE
Unique ID: FAKL-1537AF
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Massive flint core, cylindrical and used for the production of broad flakes. One striking platform working from an original face of the nodule. The opposite face, towards which the flakes were stuck, is also original. The core seems to have been made using a large flint nodule and, while recorticated, has the blotchy appearance suggestive of the mixed colour flint typical of this site. This core is likely to be of Late Neolithic or Bronze Age date. Length 67mm, Width 68mm, Thickness 60mm, Mass 384.3g
