Our prehistoric ancestors used flint tools every day; they were of vital importance for cutting and scraping, used for hunting, preparing food, making clothing and building shelters, and their remnants are scattered around the countryside. Unearthing such a find is a magical moment - a direct link to events thousands of years before - but how do you identify the piece of flint you find out in the field?
