A later prehistoric bladelet core, dating from c. 7000 - 2400 BC (Mesolithic / Neolithic). The core has been made on a mottled light grey flint with a deep seam of cortex covering approximately 40% of the whole. There are several small blade removals and other removal scars as well as more modern damage. This core forms part of an assemblage of flint artefacts of later prehistoric date. Although bladelets are generally assumed to be of Mesolthic date, this core is not definingly of that date and may be later.

Four bladelet cores dating to the Mesolithic period (c. 10,000-4,000 BC). Three out of the four cores appear complete; one has suffered post-depositional damage. The three complete examples all have flat platforms and multiple single direction bladelet removals. The cores are worked in such a way as to create a cone-shaped core. The removals are long and thin, producing bladelets that could be fashioned into other tools, such as microliths. Three out of the four cores, including the damaged one, have some element of cortex remaining. These objects are part of a larger collection fr…

A collection of eleven (11) core fragments, dating to the Mesolithic period (10,000-4001 BC). All the fragments are damaged, possibly during use but also by more modern elements such as ploughing. They may be rejuvination flakes, when a core was re-worked to achieve a better tablet to work from.

Five flint core fragments dating to the Mesolithic period (10,000-4001 BC). The cores are in varying states of preservation, with at least two showing modern plough damage. The removals are long and thin, typical of mesolithic microlith or bladelet production and are single platformed, with removal being taken from the same direction. All retain at least 10% coretx. The flints are all mottled blue-grey in colour.
