A Flint Sickle-flake from Selmeston, Sussex
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2012
Extract
Apart from the Scandinavian crescentic flint sickles recently described by Dr. Grahame Clark (Proc. Preh. Soc. E. Anglia, vii, 67–81) we are not aware that any demonstrable flint sickle-blades have yet been observed in Britain. It is therefore all the more interesting that in the sand-pit at Selmeston, Sussex, where Dr. Clark has excavated mesolithic dwelling-pits later occupied by Peterborough folk (Antiq. Journ. xiv, 134), there has lately come to light a flint flake that has indubitably been used as a sickle.
