Small bifacial core, of impressively patinated black flint with lighter grey inclusions, now light misty grey to one face; the other is mottled brown, both faces have a few rusty iron scrapes. All flake scars are small, but broad and appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

Mesolithic opposed platform bladelet core in fresh condition: - of unpatinated mottled grey flint with a few tiny areas of iron staining, sub-triangular sectioned with an angled platform at each end, the back (ventral) of the core is knapped from the edges towards the opposite edge, 90 degrees to the flake scars on the other face, there’s a rough, light brown hollow close to the middle, this may be a void within the flint nodule or a remnant of cortex. The dorsal face carries many blade removal scars, struck from either end and overlapping towards and beyond the centre, a few of the…

All blades struck from the core appear to be soft hammer struck, both platform faces are trimmed with small flake scars to alter the angles from striking blades from the main face, the smaller platform has an awkward, small hinged scar to one side and may be the reason why the entire working blade face was removed from the core, in effect u…

Small piece of black flint invasively, bifacially and semi-centripetally to form a keeled core, the last flake to be struck from this core was centrally placed to take advantage of the previous converging flake scars in the fashion of a Levallois core. According to Butler. C, (2005) these are Early Neolithic, c. 4,000 to 3000 BC. Though the writer would have put this example later.
