A flint core. A single platform bladelet core of irregular shape, but tending towards conical. Made from a piece of dark grey pebble flint with a glossy, mottled blue-white patina. There is some abraded iron-stained cortex remaining. The rest of the "conical" surface is covered in multiple converging bladelet removal scars. The flakes have been removed from a single platform. The edges of the core show signs of deliberate platform edge abrasion. Date: Mesolithic- Neolithic - c. 10000 - 2350 BC Dimensions: 24.91 mm x 32.38 mm x 28.43 mm Weight: 27.98 g
