Description: | Flint knife dating to the Mesolithic period, (8300-4500BC). It is sub-circular in plan and conical in cross-section. The dorsal face is covered with ridges and scars of earlier removals. Ripples are visible on the ventral face. One side of the object is slightly thicker where it would have sat in the hand, while the other side tapers to create a sharp cutting edge. It has a whitish grey patina.
