County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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

Record ID: SF-8DA279
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
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 …

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

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…

A flint blade of probable Neolthic to early Bronze Age date. There are multiple parallel flaking scars on the dorsal face. The butt is narrow and the bulb of percussion prominant suggesting that it was struck using a hard hammer.
