Unique ID: SUR-778975

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A conical flint core with a single striking platform from which run long narrow parallel blade removal scars.

The colour of the flint is dark brown with a white patina resulting from prolonged deposition in calcareous sediments. Early Mesolithic, 9000-8000 BC.
