Record ID: SWYOR-C4F833
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Sheffield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint fragment of a core. It is probably a two-platform core, with knapping on the dorsal side but not the ventral. The flint has a small piece of cortex remaining on the proximal edge. It measures 20.4mm x 19.2mm x 6.9mm, weighing 3.69g. This crude core flake seems to have been discarded after only a few knaps. This is typical of the later Neolithic to early Bronze Age when, generally speaking, less care was taken with the raw material.

A flint core of Early Mesolithic date, about 9000 BC - 8000 BC. It is formed on a nodule of dark grey (East Coast?) flint with cortex surviving on one face and on part of the narrower end. It is a cylindrical core with a D-shaped straiking platform, broad blade removals on 75% of the sides, and tapering to a point at the end opposite the striking platform.
