Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy object, possibly the tip of a blade of Bronze Age date. The fragment is triangular in form, tapering to a worn and rounded tip. It is pointed oval in cross section with slightly flattened mid rib. The entire object has very worn surfaces, some pitting and copper-alloy corrosion. It measures 25.50mm in length, 16.42mm in width, 1.90mm in thickness and 2.69g in weight. The precise form and function of this object remains uncertain. It is likely to be the tip from a blade or similar item, perhaps dating as early as the Bronze Age although due to its preservatio…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An assemblage of 18 unpatinated struck flint implements of Bronze Age date. Some demonstrate relatively controlled knapping that perhaps suggests a date early in the Bronze Age, however the majority are less controlled in their manufacture indicating a possible later Bronze Age date range. They are as follows: 1) An irregular flake core with 15% cortex remaining. It measures 55.57mm in length, 39.90mm in width, 39.39mm in thickness and 57.98g in weight. 2) A small irregular flake core with 20 % cortex remaining.

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy tracer awl of probable Bronze Age date. One end of the awl is square in section and triangular in profile tapering to a sharp point. The opposite end of the awl is cylindrical in form, slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and tapers to a sharp point. It has a pitted dark brown patina. The entire object measures 64.04mm in length, 4.43mm in width/diameter, and weighs 4.38g. This awl is likely to be Bronze Age in date, although the form does not change much through time and similar objects are also noted in the Roman period and possibly later.
