ABSTRACT
My purpose in presenting this paper is to raise awareness that not all stone flakes found in the landscape are either prehistoric or natural. I propose therefore to comment on a continuing craft of flint knapping from its supposed demise in the late Iron Age up to the present day, and to provide criteria for some of the flakes and flaked stone pieces found in this period. The categories of struck flint discussed in this paper include: squat flakes, strike-a-lights, gunflints, threshing sledge flints (tribulum), flint used in architecture, craft pieces, replicas and forgeries.
