Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint knife. Oval knife with abrupt hard hammer working from various directions covering both sides. There is a suggestion of battering along one edge of what may have been the dorsal aspect, to judge from the curved profile of the flake. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests that the low angle retouch should suggest the identification of this object as a knife, rather than a scraper, which was the initial suggestion advanced by this reporter. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 53.1mm, Width: 33.0mm, Thickness: 13.1mm, Weight: 24.14gms.
