A keeled or disc core produced in the process of broad flake manufacture with platforms at acute angles to one another. The object is formed from a sub-ovate flint nodule. Both faces show removal of large broad flakes. The flint is light to mid grey in colour with a low-gloss patina and areas of red brown ferrous staining mainly on ridges, one face is more heavily re-cortified than the other and a small area of cortex remains. Hammerstone pits and abrasions are also visible around the central equator, which is strong evidence to suggest its re-use as a hammerstone.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mid blue-grey and pale grrey mottled flint with iron staining. The surfaces are semi-matt with incipient patination. There are numerous elongate flake removals from opposed ends. One platform has been truncated by the removal from the second platform, resulting in a wedge shaped end. There may have been an attempt to rejuvenate the second platform prior to discarding it.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core made on a broken fragment of a ground and polished axehead. The object utilises the fore-section (cutting edge) of the axehead, originally with a lenticular cross-section, faceted edges and curved cutting edge. Part of a steeply angled cross-body break remains visible. The fragment has been steeply re-flaked by removal of broad flakes along one edge and part of the other edge to form a keeled core edge. The flint is light grey and mottled and has a mid-gloss patina. A number of red-brown ferrous stains are present, most from agricultural plough scrapes.

A single platform sub-conical bladelet core. The tip of the core tapers to a blunt point and there are several flake scars on the irregular platform surface, but all appear to relate to platform preparation. The bladelet removal scars are broadly parallel, modern edge damage means that the presence and degree of platform dressing abrasion cannot be determined. The flint is mid grey, slightly mottled with faint incipient blue-white patination in places and high-gloss patina with some red-brown ferrous staining along flake scar ridges.

A single platform sub-conical blade or bladelet core. The blade removal scars are sub-parallel, and vary markedly in size; some hinge fracture terminations are present. Modern edge damage means that the presence and degree of platform dressing abrasion cannot be determined. The flint is mid to dark grey mottled with a high-gloss patina and some red-brown ferrous staining along flake scar ridges.

A large single platform core of dark to mid grey flint with a glossy mottled white patina. The core has been made on a poinetd fragment of flint nodule and retains a large area of abraded nodule cortext. The inital break has been utilised to remove two long flakes along the long axis of the fragment creating a platform for subsequent small blade flake removals along a convex core edge opposite the pointed end. Thre core has been abandoned after the development of hinge fractures on the removal face.

A large, single platform, tabular secondary blade core made on a fragment of nodular flint which is semi-translucent and mid to dark grey in colour in areas of recent plough damage, the remainder of the core has a thin layer of mid-gloss, blue-white patina with common reddish brown ferrous stains on ridges and a small area of cortex remaining near the platform.
The core shows multiple long, parallel blade removal scars. Two final blade removals have both terminated in deep hinge fractures, possibly as a result of this the platform angle appears to have been altered. The core may ha…

A flint core with two opposing platforms. Mid grey highly siliceous flint with occasional oval patches of less siliceous lighter grey flint. There is an area of abraded nodule cortex at one side.The core is angular with numerous, small, parallel flake removals from both the opposed platforms. Both platforms have beed formed by the removal of transverse flakes.The surface has a glossy patina.

A slightly irregular probable thumbnail flint scraper. Made on a secondary flake of dark grey translucent flint. It has a glossy surface. At the proximal end is a narrow striking platform. The ventral face is largely taken up with the bulb of percussion with a small bulbar scar and numerous closely spaced waves of percussion. The dorsal face has several smallm flaking scars. The curving edge is covered with invasive and scalar flaking. The curved working edge is along the distal edge. There is a small area of white nodule cortex distally on the dorsal face.
