Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large, relatively thin flint flake, slightly curved with large flake scars from several directions on the dorsal surface. It has well-abraded flake-edges from post-depositional damage. There is some possible secondary flaking on the proximal right dorsal margin, but no other evidence for retouch. The date is uncertain within the Prehistoric period and it could be later Prehistoric if found in a beach environment. However its findspot proximity to known Palaeolithic activity suggests it may well be of Palaeolithic date (c.500,000 - 10,000 BC). It measures 103.85x60.44x14.52mm and we…

An undatable Prehistoric flint probable core (rather than a handaxe roughout), which could be described as a crude discoidal flake core made on a well-rounded and worn flint cobble (Mike Trevarthen pers.comm.

The core measures 97.09x69.25x42.12mm and weighs 236g.
