Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small oval bifacially worked flint knife of Neolithic date. Both sides have intrusive and covering long low angle retouch on the distal portion. The proximal end retains buff coloured cortex and is largely unrefined, suggesting the knife may have been hafted to a handle.

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.

A flint probable knife of uncertain date, Mesolithic to early Bronze Age, 10000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a large tertiary flake of mottled light grey flint which is roughly rectangular, with the right distal corner curved and the left distal corner extending into a slight point. The curved right edge is retouched from the dorsal face with short, low-angle sub-parallel removals. The distal end has similar retouch, and the left side is retouched in the same way but from the ventral face. There are scars of glue on the reverse where the flint has previously been mounted on cardboard.…

Pale grey flint with cortex possible knife fragment. A large flake with an apparently curved cutting edge, neatly truncated on one end where a flat and possibly smoothed surface of lentoid form appears. A large flake has been removed from behind the putative cutting edge by hard hammer strike from the dorsal aspect, possibly affording a thumb rest. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears to follow the curving edge, its progress marked by the removal of a pale patinated surface to reveal the pale grey flint below – though a similar colour change also appears …

An incomplete flint knife probably dating from the Neolithic period, 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is triangular in plan, broken across one end and rounded at the other which curves to one side. It could also be the tip of a sickle, but seems too small. It is formed on a tertiary flake of opaque light grey flint. It has bifacial invasive, low-angle, scaled retouch on one side (the concave side). It is 33.6mm long, 15.8mm wide and 3.8mm thick. 1.9g. Some glue adheres to one face, where the flint has previously been mounted post-recovery.

A flint knife dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-2350 BC.

There is one distinct area of blackened patina on the ventral surface. It is leaf shaped in plan and plano-convex in section, with neatly arranged intrusive scalar retouch present. While the shape is more defined and deliberate, akin to others of the "laurel leaf" class (compare NARC-FD9C1C, WAW-115F81 and particularly DOR-6568CD), it is also reminiscent of Neoli…

A fragment or roughout of a possible Neolithic knife, dating to c. 3000-1800 BC. The object is formed of a dark grey flint, although this is entirely covered in an exceptionally consistent layer of patinisation. It now appears pale grey and almost white, with patches of iron staining on both the dorsal and ventral faces. It is pointed oval in cross section, and bullet-shaped in plan, rectangular with a pointed proximal end which is nonetheless slightly rounded. It is extremely consistent in its symmetry when viewed in section, and parts of the surface appear to have undergone th…

Record ID: WILT-598456
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A possible Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint knife dating to c 3300-1000 BC. It tapers towards a blunt terminus at the proximal end. The bulb of percussion and ripples are evident on the ventral surface. A flake scar ridge appears on the dorsal surface and there is evidence of retouch on all edges. The item has broken away from a larger flake at an early date. It was reported by the finder as found one to two feet below the surface of a garden so may have been in original context. Dimensions: 47.48mm in length; 30.25mm in width; 9.2g in weight
