Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint scraper of probable Bronze Age date. It is roughly rectangular in shape with a curved distal end. It has very crude sub-parallel, abrupt, long retouch around the distal end and extending down both sides. There is thick white patination on both faces with some orange staining around the ridges, which the retouch has removed suggest reuse of an older, already patinated flake. The butt is narrow and the bulb of percussion prominant. The flint is mid-grey in colour. Length: 49.81mm, width: 37.97mm, thickness: 13.80mm, weight: 36.30g

A possible flint 'barbed and tanged' arrowhead of early Bronze Age date. The object is crude and only approximates the standard barbed and tanged form so may be a practice piece. It has a prominent bulb of percussion that has been partially removed via a long flake to the left side. A similar flake has been removed from the other side on the dorsal face, together creating the tang. A long, thin flake has been removed from either side of the dorsal face creating a point. The end has been shaped via semi-abrupt, long, sub-parallel retouch. A few further flakes have been removed from the…

A small flint thumbnail scraper, probably of early Bronze Age date. A secondary flake has been used; cortex still covers around 50% of the dorsal face. Crude and sporadic sub-parallel, long, semi-abrupt retouch extends from the proximal end of the left edge of the dorsal face, around the curved distal end, to around half way down the right edge. The butt is fairly small. The bulb appears to be fairly diffuse, but the majority has been reoved via a small flake. The flint is dark brown with a shiny patina. Length: 21.68, Width: 17.85mm, Thickness: 9.88mm, Weight: 3.64g

County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper, made from a retouched tertiary waste flake. The ventral face is very slightly convex and the bulb of purcussion appears to have been removed by a recent break. The dorsal face has three flaking scars, surrounded on three edges by semi-abrupt to abrupt retouch. The distal end has a slightly rolled edge resulting from later damage probably through ploughing or similar action. There is a large flake missing at the proximal end, which appears to have occured naturally following deposition. The flint is green-grey-whitish in colour, with a milky patina which has o…
