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…

A small thumb scraper dating from the Neolithic period (circa 3500 – 2100 BC). The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface and the ripples of percussion can be seen. Flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed, forming shallow arrises. The heavily retouched edge (the cutting edge) is steep, forming the characteristic thumb scraper.
