This paper discusses an early Bronze Age flint dagger in the collection of the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, previously misidentified as a 'sub-oval flint knife', which was found in the Thames at Henley in the 19th century. It is the only complete flint dagger currently known from Oxfordshire. The sparse distribution of flint daggers and dagger fragments in Britain is outlined, and the Henley artefact is described and illustrated. The contexts in which similar artefacts have been found are then considered. It has been argued that Beaker material from the Thames represents the continuation of a Neolithic practice of deposition of complete objects, often those with mortuary associations, in the river '“ an activity which remained in practice through much of the early Bronze Age.
