Description
Large knife made on a flake of black volcanic rock, perhaps pitchstone. It has a keeled back, and has been ground over the whole surface, with extra polishing/grinding to sharpen blade down one side. Parallel grooves visible on blade - maybe use marks. Found in the Bog of Fintray, Fintray, Aberdeenshire along with other well made flint tools. The pitchstone does not come from Aberdeenshire, indicating that the raw material, if not the tool was brought from elsewhre in Britain.
