Unique ID: GLO-C3AE31
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
~Flake core that has multiple flaking scars on both the ventral and dorsal side that have been taken from a number of directions, which has resulted in the artefact developing an oval cross section. There are traces of cortext covering about 40% of the ventral side, flaking has removed the cortext from the remaining area of the ventral and the whole of the dorsal, exposing a grey flint with frequent creamy patches. The extremities of the core show signs of post-depositional damage.
