Early Neolithic flint blade. The blade is trapezoidal in shape and in cross-section. 2 flakes have been knapped from one face, one on each side. One edge of the tool has been worked to give it a serrated edge. The tool has broken and so is incomplete- it would have been longer when it was made.

Probably Neolithic possible blade, measuring 40.7x17.3x5.4mm and weighing 3.91g. The distal edge is the widest part and has been worked thin with a little retouch. The right and left edges extend outwards to meet either end of this edge and have been abruptly worked on both dorsal and ventral faces. There is no retouch. The flint is c.90% patinated with a small patch of iron staining. Retouch shows a dark grey flint beneath.

A Neolithic or early Bronze Age knapped blade or knife. The flint is knapped from a mottled mid to dark brown flint. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar, and conchoidal rings, but the bulb of percussion is not visible. The dorsal surface has three vertical negative flake scars with re-touch along one side. The other side some re-touch but also some recent abrasion has taken place. The upper portion appears to have been notched to form a possible haft. It measures 73mm long and 22.68mm wide. It weighs 14.18g. The blade or knife is probably dated to the Neolithic to ear…

Neolithic blade; Knapped flint blade of probable Neolithic date (approximately 3500 BC – 2100 BC). The blade is of opaque, cream-white flint with touches of pale blue and rust-colour in its fabric. It is formed of one long flake with further strikes along the ‘front’ face to give a triangular cross-section. The back face has a prominent bulb of percussion where it was struck away from the core. There is some evidence of secondary working to shape the cutting edges along both long sides of the flake. Length 39.6mm, width 14.8mm, thickness 4.5mm, weight 2.73g

There is some small retouch at the distal end of the ventral face, that on the right hand side is invasive and semi abrupt while that on the left hand side is short and semi abrupt. On the dorsal face their has been extensive retouch to remove material on the right hand side, this has created a blunt, almost flat edge for hafting. The retouch is abru…

It may have been used as a small knife or transeverse arrowhead and probably dates to the Mid-Late Neolithic. The bulb of percussion appears to have been removed by shattering of the flint during retouching. There is a small amount of scale retouch half way along the left hand edge of the ventral face and towards the proximal end of the right hand edge; the ventral face is otherwise unworked.

Use wear along the right edge of the ventral face and left edge of the dorsal face. Possible area of use polish at the distal end on the ventral face. The flint is mid grey with paler inclusions – it has snapped across a wide pale grey area.
