Record ID: SF9076
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Long narrow sub-triangular part-polished flint axehead. It is polished all over except for the larger flake scars along the edges. The blade is 41 mm wide and the axe then tapers, with straight sides, to a very narrow butt just 8 mm wide. The axe is complete, apart from two largish (recent?) chips to the blade and one from each edge; there are also two linear scrapes, both brown so perhaps from corroded iron, on one face. The flint is a blotchy pale/medium grey, appearing to be more pale brown where chipped.

Record ID: SF8848
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Complete but very small flaked flint axehead, with slight polishing. The sides are convex, the butt is rounded and the cross-section is lenticular. The polishing is restricted to the higher areas of each face (very restricted on one face) and the edge of one side only - none is present on the oppsite side or the curved cutting edge at the wider end. The lack of polish on the cutting edge and one side, together with the small size, suggest that the axe may have been cut down from a larger axe, though as the existing polish is close to the unpolished edges there should only have been …

This findspot is known as 'RUSHBROOKE WITH ROUGHAM', grid reference and parish protected.
Record ID: SF8841
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Perforated pebble-hammer. Irregularly oval or sub-triangular in shape, relatively flat and small, with a drilled central perforation. Each edge is convex; there are two chips off the straightest and longest edge, but otherwise the object is complete. The stone is fine-grained with a smooth hard surface, and pale/medium brown. The perforation is relatively straight, and this suggests a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date rather than Mesolithic. The function as a 'pebble-hammer' seems at first sight unlikely, in view of the small size and thinness, and the narrowness of its 10 mm dia…

Record ID: SF8132
Object type: FLAKED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Flaked unpolished flint axehead, complete and in very good condition with only a few slight grazes near the butt; presumably it was in the ploughsoil for only a short time. It is teardrop-shaped, with regular sides (which have been ground slightly smoother) and a convex cutting edge. It is made from a mainly pale brown/grey flint with some darker grey patches. Two small patches of cortex survive. Length 163 mm, width 64 mm, thickness 32 mm.

This findspot is known as 'OLD NEWTON WITH DAGWORTH', grid reference and parish protected.
Record ID: SF8048
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Small, partially polished, pale grey flint axehead. The polish is mainly limited to the blade edge and one long edge. Lack of polish on the other long edge suggests that the axeheadis part of a largr original axe that has been re-knapped. The convex blade edge is slightly S-shaped in cross-section. One slight metallic scrape near the blade edge is the only definite sign of recent damage. Length 98 mm, maximum width 42 mm, blade width 23 mm, maximum thickness 25 mm.

Record ID: SF8001
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Complete single-barbed flint arrowhead, also called a 'lop-sided' or 'petit tranchet derivative' arrowhead. Both edges of the tip, and the concave base, have retouch on one face; the other face has typical retouch limited to one edge, barb and concave base. Very pale grey flint. Length 32 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 4 mm. Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age.

Record ID: SF7600
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of well-worked flint biface with even, deep flaking resulting in a thin cross-section; made of dark honey/medium brown flint. Its identification is uncertain: either a very large leaf-shaped arrowhead (unlikely) or a laurel leaf (rather finer than most) or a dagger (possibly, but quite broad and perhaps not quite fine enough) or an unpolished discoidal knife (though these are usually polished). Probably the fragment represents the tip of whatever object it is, although it is not impossible that it is a sharp butt with convex sides which expand quite rapidly. Probably Neoli…

Record ID: SF7592
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Flint 'tortoise' core, relatively large and thin. Dark brown/black flint, slightly rolled, with some cortex on one face. A core is a flint from which flakes have been removed. 'Tortoise' cores may be implements as well as cores, and they occur in Late Neolithic contexts with Grooved Ware, which is a kind of crude pottery with grooved decoration which is found mostly in ritual, not domestic, contexts (e.g. at henges).

Crude, heavily flaked, end 'scraper' with steep retouch. The notched end of the tool suggests a function other than that of a scraper. Made of poor quality black flint with cortex on the dorsal face.
