Record ID: NMS-4F76B2
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Secondary hard hammer struck flake, of fairly dull black flint, apparently from an opposed platform core. Orange patinated cortex to the one side of the distal end on the dorsal face. The platform is crushed and some of the flake scars to the dorsal face seem slightly exaggerated, one side of the distal end has what look like two burin spalls. The writer is not convinced this is man-made but given the site, it is recorded as a “possible” worked flint.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible core, Hard hammer struck flakes removed from a natural thermal (frost) fractured piece of a larger nodule of flint. Most of the flakes have been removed from edges of the dorsal face, this retains a small patch of thin and weathered cortex where the flakes didn't meet in the middle, the ventral face has one invasive hard hammer struck flake scar that terminates in a deep hinge, the other flake scar opposing this is of natural origin. The flint was of mottled grey, now stained patchy orange in bands from exposure to iron oxides. If humanly modified, this piece is undiagnostic …

An undated possible linen smoother. A rectangular block of black flint, 85 x 60 x 40mm, with a patch of cortex on one face.
