Medium biface broken during manufacture. In mottled grey flint with some spotty iron staining. An attempt to remove a flake from the tip has "plunged" from one side to the other. The object was then abandoned. Probably a stage 2 -3 preform (Whittaker 1994, 210) intended to be a leaf-shaped point. 87 x 58 x 13mm. Early Neolithic.

Grey flint with cortex possible laurel leaf knife fragment. Sub-triangular fragment of lentoid section from the end of an elongated knife or dagger. The dorsal side bears invasive scalar working or retouch. The ventral side bears covering angled scalar retouch. The object was possibly broken recently, given the sharp nature of edges at its putative continuation. However, the lack of surface patina may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition, so this might have preserved an ancient break. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length:…

A Laurel Leaf flint knife made on a secondary flake of flint. Leaf shaped with a very small amount of cortex remaining on the pointed distal end of the dorsal face. The flint is semi-translucent, mottled mid-brown with a mid-gloss patina. The ventral face shows a prominent bulb of percussion, bulbar scars and strong conchoidal ripples indicating probable use of a hard hammer. The right side margin of the ventral face shows long, scaled, low angle retouch. The dorsal face shows invasive, low angle removal scars over two thirds of surface and along the right side margin, short, scaled,…

An unpatinated and snapped flint laurel leaf of Neolithic date. It is struck from a dark brown flint with only the tip surviving, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The fragment is triangular, pointed-oval in cross section, and has flake removal and edge retouch on both faces of the object. It measures 42.48mm in length, 38.49mm in width, 7.10mm in thickness and 12.73g in weight. This is probably a flint 'Laurel-Leaf' point typical of the Early Neolithic period. Lithics of this form have an unknown function but are sometimes suggested as roughouts for leaf-shaped arrowhe…

A bifacially worked laurel leaf knife made on a flake of Portland chert. The chert is opaque and dark grey in colour with a low-gloss patina, the knife is sub-oval with an irregular outline. One face has covering, sub-parallel, low angle retouch, the other has similar, but is marked by three stepped flake scars terminating in deep hinge fractures. It is possible that this piece could also be an abandoned roughout for an arrowhead. Date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age - 3300 to 1600 BC. Dimensions: 49.1mm x 34.3mm x 8.2mm. Weight: 13.1g.

A complete flint Laurel leaf 'knife' of Neolithic date (3,450-2,100 BC). The lithic is leaf shaped in plan and bi-convex in section. The dorsal surface has invasive stepped flaking with the exception of one area of retained cortex along the proximal left hand edge and proximal edge. All edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has covering parallel flaking. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint is a dark grey in colour while the cortex is light brown. Length: 50.40mm, Width: 34.25mm, Thickness: 12.99mm, Weight: 6.9g.

Neolithic (Early) to Neolithic (Early) laurel leaf, 4000 BC to 2701 BC. This laurel leaf has not been finished and not been fully bifically worked. The dorsal face still has a thick ridge near the proximal end but has been invasively worked towards the distal end. Two notces have been produced on the piece also, on the left lateral edge and the distal end. The flint is a mid bluish grey patina and is semi-translucent. 41mm long, 43mm wide, 20mm thick and 39.5g in weight

Mottled toffee-coloured iron-stained flint, probably collected from the East Coast; laurel leaf knife. A large flat oval flake of lentoid section with a single dished negative pot lid fracture on the dorsal side and with a nearly flat ventral surface. Short angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows most of the curved edge. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows about one third of the edge, along part of one side and the adjoining curved end, producing a robust cutting edge. The flake used to make the knife appears to have been incor…
