Description
Flint tool, a large laurel leaf point made in grey-brown flint, shaped by pressure flaking, with some shallow invasive retouch to sharpen the edges. More pointed at one end, but that tip has been either broken or removed. The end has then been trimmed to square it off. Date: later Neolithic period. Found in the Bog of Fintray, Fintray, Aberdeenshire along with some other well made flint tools, but may have come from outwith the Aberdeenshire area, possibly from further south in Britain.
