Neolithic / Bronze Age flint knife
Neolithic / Early Bronze Age flint knife. Made on a flake of very poor quality flint which has a series of step fractures at the distal end on the dorsal surface where retouch ing it has been unsuccessful. The piece is made on pale grey flint which has an orange gravel stained water rolled cortex. The cortex remains on one length and provides a natural backing to the knife. The retouch runs along most of one length of the side of the flake and around the proximal end which has been thinned. The retouch is moderately invasive and scalar in nature.
