A complete flint scraper of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. A roughly D-shaped flattened tertiary flake. Short, scaled, abrupt retouch along the curved distal edge and right edge of the dorsal face. A small amount of further short, scaled, low angle retouch along the right edge of the ventral face has removed the cortex here suggesting that it took place at a stage much later than the initial maufacture. Patchy medium to heavy white patination and orange staining in places on both faces. Length: 39.90mm, width: 35.01mm, thickness: 6.02mm, weight: 18.30g

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic finely worked polished stone axehead. It is an elongated sub-triangular shape and oval in cross-section, with straight slightly outwards curving sides, a narrow, rounded butt and a blade end that curves outwards only very slightly. It is composed of a coarse-grained basic intrusive rock that has probably undergone metamorphism, speckled white and blue-grey in colour. There is a patch of orange-brown straining on one face. It survives in good condition with only a small amount of damage to the butt end. Dr Emily Banfield (pers. com.) kindly comments …

A complete flint retouched blade of uncertain Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date. A short, pointed secondary blade with a small amount of cortex still remaining along the left edge of the dorsal face. It has a narrow butt and prominent bulb of percussion suggesting that it was struck with a hard hammer. There is a small amount of crude, short, low angle retouch along the left edge of the ventral face and a notch to the right of the distal end - the latter may be post-deposition damage. The flint is a light grey colour with light surface patination and a very small amoun…

Object type: LAUREL LEAF
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint 'laurel leaf' knife of early Neolithic date. It is ovoid in shape with a flattened, pointed-oval cross-section, but is slightly asymmetrical in shape. The flint is a mottled mid- to light grey-brown with limited surface patination and some very limited orange staining in places. Covering, low angle retouch on both faces, which appears to have been struck with a soft hammer, removing all traces of the original blank flake.  'Laurel leaves' appear to have been used as knives, perhaps with the addition of a wooden handle, as their asymmetrical f…

A crude flint scraper of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. A sub-triangular secondary flake with a small amount of cortex remaining on the dorsal face. The flake reaches a prominent, blunt point to the left of the distal end of the dorsal face, which has been sharpened with small amounts of short, abrupt, scaled retouch to either side.  A large flake has also been removed to either side of the left edge of the ventral face, leaving a short, blunt projection between, perhaps for use as an awl or borer. Prominent bulb of percussion, striking platform mostly missing. The flint…
