Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Probable prehistoric flint knife

A possible flint knife of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The flint is roughly oval and has a flat striking platform with a bulb of percussion extending from it on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has three long flake scars but approximately 50% of the surface is covered with cortex. There appears to be no retouch on the edge. It is unclear whether this flint is a waste flake or is a natural piece with features similar to human-struck pieces.
