Grey flint discoid knife. Oval flake with broad parallel flakes struck from the dorsal side and a bulbar ventral; a hinge fracture on one side would permit the exertion of force when using the opposite, cutting, edge. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one half of the curving edge. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 27.5mm, Width: 24.9mm, Thickness: 7.4mm, Weight: 5.74gms.

Grey flint, appearing brownish under transmitted light, discoidal knife. A thin oval flake of lentoid section bearing covering angled scalar retouch across both its sides. Chipped at one end, probably recently. A lack of patination might hint at the recent disturbance of the object from a sealed context. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 35.3mm, Width: 28.5mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 8.216gms.

Grey flint with reformed cortex spot, probably discoid knife fragment. A thin flat flake with rounded edge bearing covering angled scalar retouch across both sides. A straight edge and an adjacent chip are both probably the result of a recent and fortuitous impact. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC Length: 33.7mm, Width: 31.9mm, Thickness: 5.7mm, Weight: 6.13gms

Honey-coloured flint possible discoidal knife fragment. A broad flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by angled covering scalar retouch executed with hard hammer, and with a low bulb towards one end of an otherwise flat ventral surface. A curving side appears to represent the cutting edge; the opposite long edge was perhaps indented twice, introducing a crescentic appearance, though this side may have been chipped more recently to achieve this form. One end of the knife is also lost to probably recent damage. Formerly identified as a plano-convex knife; however, Ciorstai…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint, possibly collected from the East coast, discoidal knife. A thin oval flake, possibly naturally formed by frost action as a pot lid fracture, bears a dense white patina across the ventral surface, suggesting that side had endured a long period of exposure to a calcareous environment. This patina is removed at the edge at one end by short abrupt retouch executed from the [original] ventral aspect, though a sufficiently long period had elapsed between the initial detaching of the flake and reworking to enable the patina to form. This narrow zone of retouch is extended al…
