Three later Neolithic discoidal knives from north-east Surrey: with a note on similar examples from the county

JONATHAN COTTON

The publication of three later Neolithic discoidal knives found during the 1960s provides an opportunity to consider the type as a whole from the historic county and the areas immediately adjacent to it. Thirty-three examples have been identified and are divided into four geologically-based groups. Group I comprises six implements from the Chalk of the North Downs, Group II nine implements from the Lower Greensand, Group III fifteen implements from the river Thames and its foreshore and Group IV three implements from the Tertiary deposits. Examination of the flint-types utilised across the four groups points to the existence of two discrete zones, one based on the Thames valley (Groups III and IV) and the other on the Chalk and Greensand country to the south (Groups I and II). A preliminary analysis of the distribution of the various other classes of later Neolithic material from the county indicates that some at least may respect this suggested division. Final confirmation, however, awaits further study of the discoidal knives from Hampshire, Kent and Sussex – a task considered to be beyond the modest scope of the present paper.
