Description: | A probable flint knife or bi-facial tool. Made from banded and mottled mid grey, grey-brown and off-white flint. It has a milky, mid-gloss patina and some iron-staining. Made on a thick tertiary flake, it has been bi-facially worked to shape and thin it into a crude ovate probable knife. There is some finer flaking on the proximal end with broader, coarser flaking on the distal and around the edges. The bulb of percussion remains on the ventral face.Date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age: 2500 BC - 1500 BCDimensions: 56.5 mm x 45 mm x 14.04 mmWeight: 50 g
