Grey semi-translucent flint, of good quality, knife. Plano-convex knapped blade, bearing three long blade removal scars on the dorsal face, and a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface showing where the blade was removed from the core after these long flakes had been removed. This working was probably with hard hammer, but pressure flaked retouch appears along both long edges. The removal of long thin flakes and the selection of apt material tend to indicate an earlier Neolithic date; however, the plano-convex form anticipates later blade and fabricator forms, so a broader date-ran…

Flint or chert, brown coloured and cloudy Tool fragment. Rod of stone, roughly trimmed with a hard hammer; many strokes appear to have been directed from the edges of the object towards its centre. This working has achieved a broad lentoid section. Bill Bee kindly comments that this working has perhaps provided a thumb-rest near the (present) mid-point, and that a sharper end has probably been lost. One end of the object was broken in antiquity, the other end displays a recent fracture surface. Suggested date: Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 3500-1500 BC. Length: …
