Title
Lithic implement
Description
English: A leaf shaped flint dagger, measuring 171mm in length, 50mm in width and 12.7mm in thickness. The tip is missing and one edge beside the tip is apparently reworked with steep edge retouch. Elsewhere there is fine all-over bifacial shallow flaking. The butt end is flatish and has a thicker cross-section than the tip half. The flint is a pale to medium grey and is atypical of the majority of local flint though reminiscent of flint axe coluring, suggesting a possible import into the area.
Flint daggers were introduced as part of the so-called 'beaker package,' although Upper Palaeolithic forms are also known. They are likely to represent flint copies of the earliestr metal daggers and date from the European Copper Age and British Early Bronze Age, circa 2500-2000BC. They represent one of the finest and rearest types of flint implements of the early Bronze Age in this country.
