Complete single platform core made from a small nodule of water worn flint. The unworked section of the flint is rounded, and the cortex is weathered and thin with rusty iron streaks from contact with agricultural machinery. One end of the nodule is struck off at an oblique angle by a hammer stone to provide the platform for flake/small blade removals from one face, several rows of these have been struck in sequence; the distal end of the removals must have had a small amount of cortex left on them from the core. The interior of the nodule is excellent quality black flint. As the remov…
