A complete flint dagger or knife of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age dating (2, 700 BC to 1,600 BC). The flint dagger or knife is a core tool, it has been formed on a large blade like knife from a prepared core. The flint matrix is mid grey with significant white inclusions and grey/black veining. The flint has been chosen to create this piece because of this. Likewise the inclusions will make the piece more difficult to knap. It was made from a prepared blade with lentoid section. The upper dorsal and lower vental faces have been reflaked to create the broad form. Then s…

A pale to dark grey flint dagger or knife, likely of Bronze Age date (c.2350-1600 BC), and of the Beaker Type. The object is leaf-shaped with a pointed tip and rounded butt. It is bifacially worked with both sides having retouch formed from relatively large and shallow flakes, with smaller retouch along the edges and ends. Comparative objects found on the PAS database include: SF-61B7F4 which is very similar in shape and possibly dates from the Paeleolithic period due to its patination and retouch. NLM-231B87 and NMGW-F4A584 are similar in shape and are dated to the Bronze Age p…

An incomplete bifacially worked tool, probably a flaked dagger rough-out, broken at one end. The distal tip end is sub-rounded, the broken end rectilinear, the object is broad, but relatively well thinned (c 4.5/1 width/thickness ratio) with well executed invasive, scaled, low angle soft hammer flaking forming a lenticular cross-section. The margins are slightly convex with well developed centre lines and taper inwards slightly. The break is flat and runs straight across the body of the piece; it probably represents a flex-break or end shock originating at a coarse inclusion within th…

Early Bronze Age leaf-shaped, short tanged flint dagger of c. 2250 - 2000BC date The dagger is of 'Beaker Type' and is complete and comparatively small (with a length of 113.2mm, a maximum width of 40.2mm and a weight of 41.0g). The butt (with a length of 38mm) is of pointed V-shaped form. The form of the butt was likely to have been determined by a patch of rough cortex running along one edge of the butt and subsequently mirrored on the opposite side. The sides diverge (for a length of 28mm) before rounded notches on both sides (where the dagger has a width of 30.3mm) formed by pres…

Flint possible dagger. Large tapered flake with covering angled scalar retouch across its dorsal side and with similar trimming of broad flakes from its ventral surface, producing an ovate section. Working from both sides has produced a narrowing towards the butt which approaches the appearance of a short tang. Dense misty white patina has accumulated overall, suggesting the object endured prolonged exposure after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 74.4mm, Width: 46.2mm, Thickness: 12.0mm, Weight: 45.57gms.

A fragment of a leaf-shaped flint dagger consisting a piece of the handle, of Early Bronze Age date (c. 2500-2200 BC). The piece is broadly trapezoidal in plan view and broadly lenticular in section, both sides being covered with flake scars that result from several manufacturing stages, to the extent that none of the original un-modified flake surface survives. The piece is light grey in colour with some whitish inclusions, and is relatively undamaged except for a small nick in the left hand edge. The fragment has been cleanly broken at both ends, which may reflect a deliberate act r…

Grey flint dagger fragment. Ogival pointed end from a bifacially worked dagger of lentoid section. Both sides have angled covering scalar retouch, the finished effect being fairly smooth on one side but distinctly uneven on the other. An angled break is probably recent, and reveals a thick patina which suggests the object had endured prolonged exposure. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 46.9mm, Width: 27.2mm, Thickness: 8.5mm, Weight: 8.75gms.

A crudely bifacially worked flint dagger. The tang is parallel sided, unblunted and expands abrubptly into an irregular "laurel leaf" blade. The lateral profine is lentoid. There is haphazard soft hammer flaking over the surfaces and some retouch to refine the cutting edges. The cutting edges remain somewhat irregular and slightly sinuous. The longitudinal profile is thick and irregular. Made on a large, probably secondary flake (there is a very small patch of cortex near the tip on one face). There are remnants of a deep ripple scar on what was the ventral face of the flake. There is…

Incomplete Early Bronze Age (Beaker period) flint dagger. Tip missing, some minor damage to edges, possible opposed single notches 2/3rds along length from tip. Butt damaged by a transverse bending fracture. Soft hammer struck and pressure flaked around edges. Light grey flint with some spotty iron staining. 2300 - 1700 BC. A more complete but un-notched example was found at Feltwell, Norfolk in 1962 (HER 5163).

Flint dagger, sub-oval in plan, bi-convex in profile and section. It has been retouched on both margins to create sharp edges. There is a point at one end and at the opposite end it is truncated with a hinge fracture. To the left and right of the point there is semi-abrupt retouch. It may be a broken dagger, possibly of the Beaker period. The flint is pale grey with light mottling. There is no cortex, so it is classed as tertiary. Butler (2005) shows a dagger that is similar on page 173, Figure 73, Number 3.

A finely, bifacially worked flint leaf-shaped point, probably a dagger of Early Bronze Age date. It is formed from a mottled pale brown flint and is pointed oval shaped in section. The hilt end is pointed, the sides of the object curving outwards to well-defined shoulders before tapering to a sharp point. It measures 130.43mm in length, 45.38mm in width, 11.66mm in thickness, and weighs 57.51g. While this object is similar in form to finely worked leaf-shaped arrowheads and points it would be quite large in size for such an object. More probably it is a finely worked, but small,…

An Early Bronze Age flint dagger, measuring 152 x 35 x 19mm. This object is an imitation of a hafted metal dagger in pale grey flint (shown by a small chip near the dagger point), stained pale brown all over, with darker flint showing at the end of the hilt. The maximum width is at the blade, which narrows to a neck of width 28mm towards the hilt, at the same time thickening to the full 19mm. Much of the flaking is coarse and by percussion and the maker has failed to remove hinged flakes scars on each face at the handle end. Some bifacial shallow scars defining the edges…

Flint dagger, lozenge-shaped in plan and section, tapering towards a point at the distal end and a squared-off butt at the proximal end. The dagger is bifacially reworked and retouched using pressure flaking on all margins. The flint is a translucent grey-brown colour and was likely derived from a locally mined flint nodule. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar, but less symmetrical, example from Norfolk on page 60, Fig.5.35, and another on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.28, which dates from the Beaker period. Smith (1919) illustrates similar ex…

A very fine and well finished late Neolithic to early Bronze Age knife/dagger. The knife is a long pointed oval shape, with rounded tips. The knife has been heavily knapped to form the cutting edges and the surfaces. Both surfaces are rounded. The flint has a light brownish-grey patination. Multiple flakes have been removed from the surface of the knife and the cutting edges have been reworked. No natural cortex survives and no internal flint can be seen as the outer surface remains intact. There are some flaws within the make up of the flint. Ripples of percussion can be seen with i…

Bronze Age flint dagger, measuring 165x61.5x22.5mm and weighing 216.01g. Both faces have been extensively flaked, with additional abrupt flaking all the way around the edges. One face has had many short flakes removed, but to one side only. This face has also had less abrupt working to the edges than the other face, and the point has not been worked, wheareas on the other face it has been, quite extensively, making it very sharp. The butt end is rounded but also quite sharp. The flint is dark grey/ black in colour with spots of a lighter brown. It also has a very light patination…

A leaf shaped flint dagger, measuring 171mm in length, 50mm in width and 12.7mm in thickness. The tip is missing and one edge beside the tip is apparently reworked with steep edge retouch. Elsewhere there is fine all-over bifacial shallow flaking. The butt end is flatish and has a thicker cross-section than the tip half. The flint is a pale to medium grey and is atypical of the majority of local flint though reminiscent of flint axe coluring, suggesting a possible import into the area. Flint daggers were introduced as part of the so-called 'beaker package,' although Upper Palaeol…
