Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead. It is triangular in shape with projecting rounded barbs, the tip of one missing. The central tang is sub-rectangular in shape. Both faces have invasive/covering, scaled, low-angle retouch, with an unretouched patch in the centre of one face. The flint is a mid-grey colour with limited patination. Barbed and tanged arrowheads are characteristic of the Neolithic/early Bronze Age transition to middle Bronze Age period, c.2400-1000 BC.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint flaked and polished axe of probable late Neolithic date. The axe is an elongated flame-shape, sub-oval in cross-section. It is unusually long and narrow, but not outside the range of know forms. There is invasive, scaled, low angle retouch on both faces with limited polishing visible in places at the wider end. There is a thick orange-stained patina covering most of the surface, but with small amounts of post-deposition damage around the edges where the patina has been removed. Polishing on only parts of the surface can be indicative of a late Neolithic date, …

An incomplete flint scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. A long, narrow tertiary flake with an abrupt transverse break across the centre as a result of which the proximal end is now missing. The flint is a light brown colour with heavy orange staining on both faces. There is long, semi-abrupt, scaled retouch across the left edge of the distal end of the dorsal face. This retouch is slightly less stained suggesting it may be a later addition to an older flake. There is no staining within the central break suggesting it is a recent occurrence.
