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.

Grey flint with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, probable knife. Thick flake with two broad flakes removed from its ventral side by hard hammer strike. A period sufficient for the struck surfaces to acquire a yellowish iron-stained cast ensued. This light discolouration was removed along one long edge by short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect. The Early Bronze Age could accommodate both primary and secondary episodes. Other damage appears adventitious and recent. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 77mm, Width: 38.7mm, Thickness: 15…

Grey-buff flint knife. Oval flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its [probably] dorsal side, and with angled covering scalar retouch across its [probably] ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one side of a rounded end. Patches of misty patina on struck surfaces suggest the object was exposed to a calcareous environment for a relatively short period after its deposition.

Dark grey flint with cortex knife. Thick flake with broad flat flakes struck from its dorsal side and with an uneven ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge. The relict cortex probably facilitated the exertion of pressure on the cutting edge.

Grey flint knife. Flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by multi-directional hard hammer working, and with a hinged fracture marking its separation from the core. Further broad parallel flakes were then removed from the ventral surface. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge to form a cutting edge. The smooth hinged fracture may have facilitated the exertion of pressure when using the knife. It is possible a more symmetrical lunate form is disrupted by the loss of part of the cutting edge.

Mottled grey and buff flint of poor quality; possible knife; the finder kindly suggests this may be a razor. A long flake from which long parallel flakes have been removed from the dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. The result has been to form a putative curved cutting edge at the end of a long tang with a flat back along the opposite edge which might permit pressure to be brought to bear. The unusual form arises from an unpromising material prone to splitting along its numerous internal planes, and it would have been difficult to replicate the form of this object. Suggested…

Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge and round the wider end with shorter abrupt retouch following the opposite long edge and carried up to the other, slightly narrower, end; this side is battered.

Grey flint with cortex, knife. Flake with a bulb on the ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims a patch of cortex, leaving a neat crescentic edge between the unworked and worked parts. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect may represent either the finishing of the cutting edge or its renewal. Narrow chips have also been removed by retouch or adventitious damage falling on the edge of the ventral surface opposite the cutting edge, perhaps to assist handling.

Dark grey flint with cortex knife. A sub-triangular flake with what may be either a fortuitous chip or angled scalar trimming of cortex from its dorsal side and with ripples on its ventral surface. The exposed flint in both cases has acquired a dense white patina. This is disrupted by short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect following one long edge, and by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect following an adjacent short edge. The former working may define a cutting edge while the latter may represent the tidying or blunting of a short side of the tool…

Dark grey flint knife. Triangular flake with broad parallel flakes trimmed from its dorsal side and trimmed by multangular angled hard hammer working on the ventral. One long edge is lightly battered, presumably from use, while the opposite long edge is flat, affording a finger or thumb rest. The trimming of both sides was so economically executed as to give the appearance more usually associated with covering scalar retouch, while the resemblance to the form of a projectile point is probably misleading. Thick white patina has accumulated overall, and its loss at edges is the result o…

Dark grey flint knife. Oval knife with abrupt hard hammer working from various directions covering both sides. There is a suggestion of battering along one edge of what may have been the dorsal aspect, to judge from the curved profile of the flake. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests that the low angle retouch should suggest the identification of this object as a knife, rather than a scraper, which was the initial suggestion advanced by this reporter. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 53.1mm, Width: 33.0mm, Thickness: 13.1mm, Weight: 24.14gms.

Mottled grey flint with cortex at edge knife. Oval flake with long broad parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side, and with broader scars on the ventral, the latter probably struck from the other end but in both cases with prominent rippling. Together these conferred a sharp cutting edge. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-801. Length: 51.8mm, Width: 36.5mm, Thickness: 8.2mm, Weight: 17.63gms.

Black and brown parti-coloured flint, knife. Oval flake with two large flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, and prominent rippling from the hard hammer strike which detached this flake from the core. Pressure flaked retouch was then carried round the edge of the flake, and is itself locally smoothed by subsequent use. The planar appearance is reminiscent of that of flint 'daggers' of the Early Bronze Age, though this object is not so elongated. The edge is lightly notched at one point by probably recent damage. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2100-1500 BC Length: 60.5mm, W…

White patinated flint possible knife, as identified by finder. Flake with a notch on either side, perhaps to assist hafting, and with long thin blade removal scars along two sides of a sub-triangular point. It seems that subsequent fine pressure flaking with a point has formed serrated edges at this end, though this is a feature which is more easily felt than seen. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2100-1500 BC. Length: 36.8mm, Width: 19.8mm, Thickness: 7.3mm, Weight: 4.68gms.
