Title
Bronze age flint core
Description
English: A flint core of probable Bronze Age date, c. AD 1600-800. A sub-conical fragment of chert-like grey flint mottled with regular inclusions, and with a small area of thin, compact, beige-pink cortex below the striking platform. The core has two largely unworked facets, with a series of irregularly sized sub-parallel removals from the the third. A promonotory projects from between each removal, suggesting a lack of platform preparation.

Dimensions: length 40.8mm; width 42.6mm; thickness 38.9mm; weight 40.33g.

Although sub-parallel removals may suggest an earlier date, their irregular size and lack of platform preparation would suggest that the core fits with the date range of the majority of the material found in the vicinity, which is more characteriscally later Prehistoric.
