Who were the first people to set foot on the Scottish Hebridean island of Tiree? How did they exist? What did they eat? How did they process their food? Some answers may be provided from an analysis of the thousands of prehistoric worked flints and stone tools found on the island. These include a possible rare form of butchering knife, hammerstones and flint blades.
