Pale brown toffee-coloured flint with pale cream markings, knife, as kindly identified by the finder. Oval flake with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims one narrower end and probably the adjoining long side. Suggested date: possibly Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 51.5mm, Width: 33.7mm, Thickness: 10.7mm, Weight: 15.85gms

Grey flint knife, as kindly identified by the finder. A thick oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch follows a curving edge; a chip was probably damage incurred in antiquity as orange staining from contact with gravels passes over the broken surface. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 42.5mm, Width: 38.4mm, Thickness: 14.4mm, Weight: 18.06gms

Pale grey flint with cortex possible knife fragment. A large flake with an apparently curved cutting edge, neatly truncated on one end where a flat and possibly smoothed surface of lentoid form appears. A large flake has been removed from behind the putative cutting edge by hard hammer strike from the dorsal aspect, possibly affording a thumb rest. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears to follow the curving edge, its progress marked by the removal of a pale patinated surface to reveal the pale grey flint below – though a similar colour change also appears …

Pale buff flint knife, as kindly identified by the finder. A curved triangular-section flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at the broader end of its ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving convex outer edge of the concavo-convex form. Dense creamy patina suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment; the tint of flint is revealed by a small chip at the narrow end. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC Length: 38.6mm, Width: 16.8mm, Thickness: 6.4mm…

Pale cream-buff flint possible knife fragment. Sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and smooth across most of the ventral surface, save where interrupted by one long flake-removal scar. Short abrupt retouch or edge-on damage follows the longest edge. The straight upper edge [as illustrated] has the smooth edge of a positive hinge fracture on one side. Overall creamy patina and rust spotting may suggest the object was subsequently incorporated into gravel. Now smooth to the touch, probably due to water-rolling. Suggested date: possibly Early to Middle Palae…

Grey semi-translucent flint knife. A thin flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a rippled ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows both long edges, perhaps indicating improvised use of debitage. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length: 29.4mm, Width: 14.8mm, Thickness: 4.7mm, Weight: 2.28gms

Black flint knife. A thin oval flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of its bulbar ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows part of one long straight edge. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect also follows the opposite straight edge. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 28.3mm, Width: 20.7mm, Thickness: 5.4mm, Weight: 3.27gms

Grey-buff flint knife, as kindly identified by the finder. Trapezoid flake with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight –and perhaps broken before that reworking – edge. This edge is also lightly battered. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows an adjacent and slightly longer side to form a more robust cutting edge. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 30.1mm, Width: 30.9mm, Thickness: 7.1mm, Weight: 5.44gms

Grey flint knife. Flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side by unidirectional working, and with a bulb and platform at the broader end of the ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect strays across one side and may follow one edge to produce a knife without a back edge, but the flake is probably neither finished nor further used. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 27.8mm, Width: 19.3mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 3.14gms

Opaque pale grey-buff flint knife. Thick sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a markedly bulbar ventral surface; cortex has re-formed over the associated striking platform. Invasive long angled parallel retouch executed from the dorsal aspect defines a cutting edge along one straight side and a more limited zone at the site of an opposite lobe. Invasive angled scalar retouch also trims the bulbar ventral surface, and very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect forms a more ephemeral cutting edge along an adjacent long side.
