Description: | A flint knife of Neolithic date, 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of dark grey flint with cortex on the dorsal face, and is sub-triangular in plan and pointed oval in cross-section. Both long edges have invasive, low angle sub-parallel retouch, changing to similar but semi-abrupt retouch on the proximal end of the right side. The left side of the proximal end has a long, large removal from the proximal end creating a long notch. Small, short, abrupt, parallel retouch on the edge left by this removal suggests that it was intentional. The knife is 43mm long, 24.6mm wide and 5.5mm thick. 6.11g.
