This #ValentinesDay our hearts belong to this beautiful, finely made flint knife! 😍
A plano-convex knife – flat one side, convex on the other. They’re sometimes called ‘slugs’ because of this shape! They are most commonly associated with the #EarlyBronzeAge or #LateNeolithic period.

#FindsFriday: A scale-tang bone knife handle from WW1. What makes this find extra special? The owner carved their initials ‘AI’ on to the side of the handle. The find was recovered in 2025 during ASE’s excavations at Cooden Camp, a WW1 training camp in Bexhill.
