Title
Mesolithic Flint Core
Description
English: Flint core. Long nodule with a flat striking platform and long broad flakes struck from at least three surfaces by unidirectional working, with a single long flake perhaps removed by impact from the other end. A dense creamy patina spotted with iron stains suggests the object endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic, 10000-7000 BC.
