Description: | A large flint knife dating from the Later Neolithic period. It is 94.8mm long, 78.4mm wide and 20.1mm thick. It weighs 152.15gm. The knife is oval in plan and has been flaked and partially polished. It is worked from both faces. There is some edge damage but it is not clear whether this is from use or damage caused by being on a beech. See figure 70 on page 101 of Stone Tools and Society by Mark Edmonds for a similar example.
