- On our last Prehistory Guys live Q&A, we invited our friend Dr. James Dilley onto the programme to answer a question from one of our viewers: 'How do you identify worked flint?'
James is an archaeologist and craftsman who specialises in prehistoric technologies and is a recognised authority on the subject. Who better to answer that question?
Here is the excerpt from the programme for you to enjoy!

I miss Dilley on TH-cam! Come back!
Thank you for this segment to be used by me and other history buffs! Many of us amateurs can use this on our walks.🥰
Thanks so much.
I found a beautiful flake in a field in Kent today and ot is exactly like Dr. Dilley describes here. So useful. Thanks!!
I'm in the other Kent. City of Kent, Washington USA. NO flint here, sadly.
However, my late husband found a slate hand scraper on Queen Anne Hill in his mother's back yard. There were fingertips worn into one side of the stone from years of use by a Duwamish woman, possibly long before Seattle became a village settlement of Americans from the Eastern states.
Hi guys only seeing this now. Firstly thanks for taking the time to reply to my question and secondly thanks to James for answering my question. Well chuffed. And I will keep looking. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. 👍
Have you interviewed anyone that advises how to properly record or document something you stumble upon? The DOs & DON’Ts for amateur’s?🐢🍀💚
As a history nut with a particular predisposition for the neolithic and flints in general, this video got a nice "Oooh aahh!" outta me. Im delighted to have found your channel! EDIT: Too bad I dont live in england, would loved to have seen James and Sally showcasing their skills
Could you tell something about the patina on flint and how it developed?
Thanks , flint is the real deal , it's simple an direct , then it fails and I don't know why...all I can do is try.
It is confusing, since simply smashing the right kind of stone will give you some usable bits, and that's probably where it began. In NA we used to find lots of waste bits that had been used as scrapers, too.

We don't have much flint here in Washington State. 😮😮😮
In volcanic areas we have many different colors of Obsidian & We do have agate and fancy Jasper that has been worked
