Description: | Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint knife or possibly scraper made on a secondary flake. It is oval in shape with a slight point at the distal end which is damaged from a modern chip. This modern chip shows the flint is dark grey although the surface is covered by a white patina. There is part of the bulb of percussion and ripples on the ventral face although the striking platform and edge of the bulb has been lost to retouch and chipping. The dorsal face is covered in cortex apart from the edge which has medium length semi-parallel and scalar retouch around both edges and ends interrupted by chipping at the distal and proximal ends. 41.7mm by 29.5mm by 6.6mm and 9.29 grams.
