A fragment from a lithic dagger dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The surviving section represents part of the centre of the dagger, but both ends have been snapped off. The dagger has been bifacially worked, resulting in many shallow flakes being removed from the surface. There also appears to be some retouch along the edges of the dagger. The flint is a light greyish-brown colour with some lighter flaws.

A small Neolithic thumb scraper, designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one rounded side and one convex. The flint is roughly oval in overall shape. It has been formed from a light whitish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are no longer present, however evidence of retouching survives. Scrapers like this would have had many different functions in the Neolithic, as they were very useful tools, used for example for skinning animals, removing the fatty deposited from hinds and much more.
