| Record Name | Rejuvenated Chert Core |
| Record Description | Of fine black chert, this rejuvenated core/flake was surface-collected from an area of eroded ground above Grovebeck Gill. Defined in the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Archaeology as "A roughly round, slightly wedge-shaped flake ... with the remains of flake beds around the outside edge. Such flakes are the product of extending the life of a core that has become uneven or difficult to work but which still has the potential to yield further blades." |
