An incomplete knapped and flaked flint knife blade / scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (3000-2000BC). The knife is formed on a flake of secondary debitage. The fragment is broadly oval in plan and has a D shaped cross section. The dorsal face has multiple flaking facets and the edges have been retouched with neat well organised overlapping flakes which can be described as invasive semi-abrupt and stepped. A small area of yellow cortex is present on the dorsal face and this is stained an orange colour by the environment. From this area of cortex relatively neat flake…

Flint point, possibly from a knife. This has one low arise on the dorsal, but no bulb of percussion on the ventral. There are multiple, low flaking scars the are direct in the rights side and inverse in the left side. The tip and rear are truncated. this is a dark grey flint.

A large substantial backed knife of later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-2000 BC). The knife is formed on a a broad tertiary blade with a distinct baked ridge on the dorsal face created by removals of previous blades. The distall end of the ventral face has a clear bulbar scar and bulb of percussion however the prepared striking platform has been removed by snapping and retouch. The long edges of both sides of the dorsal face have been retouched with acceptional care and skill. The retouch can be catagorised as being short scaled semi-abrupt. The blunted end / nose is likewise ret…

A fragment of a snapped knapped flint knife blade of later Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The knife is formed from a relatively narrow blade of mid grey coloured flint; the upper edge is lost. In plan the knife fragment is broadly rectangular and in cross section it is a sub-oval shape. The working reworking and retouch on the dorsal face is detailed and well applied; it is most heavily applied with small rounded regular flakes being removed; this flaking is very compact and neat being achieved with great skill; it is best described as short scaled and semi-abrupt. There are seve…

A fragment of a snapped knapped flint knife blade of later Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The knife is formed from a broad flake of mid grey coloured flint. In plan the knife fragment is broadly rectangular and in cross section it is a similar sub-oval shape.

An early to middle Neolithic ovate 'laurel leaf like' knife, dating from the period c. 3500-2900 BC. The tool is formed on a mid-orange yellow mottled coloured pieced coarse 'local flint'. In plan the flake is a pointed oval or cordate shape and in cross section it is broadly sub-oval (D-shaped). The tool is formed on a broad blade like flake; the ventral face shows conchoidal ridges and the blade has been struck from a prepared core. The upper / dorsal face shows two parallel ridges. The long edges have been reworked bifacially using both hard and soft hammer being neat and well org…

Prehistoric flint knife, probably of Neolithic date The knife is of sub-triangular form and is incomplete, missing part of the retouched edge (with a length of 47.5mm, a width of 36.4mm, a thickness of 10.7mm and a weight of 16.8g). The retouch was confined to one edge and only survives on the distal end, abutting the cortex. The opposite edge may have been deliberately backed. Cortex is present on the distal side and there is a recessed flaw on the ventral surface. The flint has light patination.

A broken pointed end of a finely worked bifacial tool of translucent brown flint with light and mid grey inclusions. It has been totally invasively worked. The plan is a pointed symmetrical leaf shape, very much like a leaf arrow head but for a somewhat thicker section. Close to the slightly oblique break the sharp margin has been slightly blunted which suggests that the tool was a kind of knife. The implement is 30.9mm in length, 33.35mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 8.4 grams

A fragment of knapped flint knife - or possibly a reworked projectile point of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900 BC - 1800 BC). The flint is sub-triangular in plan and an irregular trapezoid in cross section. The flint has been worked from a larger flake and the ventral face shows evidence of conchoidal ripples. The two long edges of the dorsal face show evidence of significant retouch which has been applied through pressure flaking; these have created a neat serrated edge. The lower short edge has several areas of vertical knapping on the butt suggesting it has been del…

Knapped and flaked flint knife blade / or possible scraper of later Neolithic date. The scraper is irregular in shape being broadly a lozenge in plan and D shaped in cross section. It has been formed from a struck flake which has come from the tertiary phase of knapping. Several larger 'relic' scars are present on the upper (dorsal) face which have been caused by striking other flakes prior to the removal of this blade. Two relatively modern breaks are present caused presumably by degradation in the ploughsoil. On the ventral (reverse) face clear evidence of conchoidal fractures are p…
