A modern chip shows some depth to this but it is possible that the piece is an orangey chert. In Royal Cornwall Museum, cabinet 1 there is at least one excavated Early Paleolithic hand-axe and a large Levallois core with a dorsal flake struck. Documentation Officer; Margaret Morgan writes that this core is a likey surface find from Higher Polcoverack Farm, St. Kelverne(Cornwall). I compared the pieces and would say that the suface condition of worn orangeyness is very similar.</p>approved109.152.81.60amanda.blunsdon@btinternet.comfindComment2011-09-12 15:20:272011-06-05 19:53:58CORN-3B7A82PALAEOLITHICFLAKE3329788May11finz 005.jpgimages/atyacke/Cornwall44276819:43:33 @ 5th June 2011Graham Hill<p>Hi, When I found this flake I hoped that it was a longitudinally snapped Middle Paleolithic Levallois flake. I did not think of a more recent core rejuvenation flake at least partly through wishful thinking; Paleo finds being so rare in Cornwall. However I think that the converging pattern of dorsal flake scars suggest an unusual pattern of flake removals, like a radial core. The admittedly feint conchoidal ripples leave the striking platfoms well outsde the existing abruptly flaked or damaged margin except for the dorsal scar running longitudinally from the proximal end. From what appears a facetted butt a deeper Levallois style strike removed the whole flake off a core.</p>approved109.152.81.60amanda.blunsdon@btinternet.comfindComment2011-09-01 18:59:132011-06-05 19:43:33CORN-3B7A82PALAEOLITHICFLAKE3329788May11finz 005.jpgimages/atyacke/Cornwall42904609:42:12 @ 3rd June 2011Laura Burnett<p>Really nice record.
