Record ID: NMS-79FF0B
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Complete single platform core made from a small nodule of water worn flint. The unworked section of the flint is rounded, and the cortex is weathered and thin with rusty iron streaks from contact with agricultural machinery. One end of the nodule is struck off at an oblique angle by a hammer stone to provide the platform for flake/small blade removals from one face, several rows of these have been struck in sequence; the distal end of the removals must have had a small amount of cortex left on them from the core. The interior of the nodule is excellent quality black flint. As the remov…

A complete flint Axehead of Early Neolithic date (3500-2500 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan, long and narrow with a slightly wider blade end. The lithic is bi-convex in section creating an ovate cross. Both surfaces have covering scaled flaking with the exception of the blade end which has a long-polished section running approximately 1/3 of the length of the object.  The butt end has been blunted and is slightly rounded with a long smooth negative scar extending on one side approximately 1/4 of the length of the object. There is a shallow negative scar on the blad…

A curved flint flake, apparently removed from the cutting end of a Neolithic flaked axehead. The flake appears to represent a corner of the cutting end of the axehead and has a triangular cross section with removal scars on both sides and a concave inner surface which is the break from the tool. the low bulb-of-percussion and feathered ends to the flake suggest this was a deliberate, contemporary removal, probably for sharpening or finishing purposes.

Neolithic axehead, complete, though heavily rolled so that the flake scars are almost obscured. The patination is a variegated buff brown. A recent chip towards the butt shows that the flint was originally mid-grey. The degree of wear shows that this object must have been in the sea for a considerable period of time. 169 x 68.5 x 37mm.

Neolithic to Bronze Age chert scraper and two possible burins on a tertiary flake. Semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch to the longest edge to form the scraping edge. At the ends of the working edges there are small angled removals that appear intentional. These result in what appear to be burins or gouges on the respective corners. There are removals to the ventral and dorsal faces that allow the tool to be held more comfortably. Suggested date range c4000 to c1000 AD. Length 29mm, width 20mm, weight 4.16g.

Dark grey-brown flint blade. A thick sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface with smaller flakes struck by hard hammer working from the ventral aspect. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long straight edge, possibly forming a knife on whose cutting edge pressure might be brought to bear with the user’s thumb resting in the dorsal concave surface. Dark brownish flint seems associated with early and skilful flint-working in our region. The edges are so fresh as to suggest the recent dist…

Tertiary flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period. In plan the flake is closest to a rhomboid but for a protrusion of the proximal end where the bulb of percussion is visible. In section there is minimal curvature and only little variations in thickness. The flake is of a warm-grey to brown, and conchoidal ripples are visible on both faces. There is evidence of short parallel retouching on the mesal (noticeable on the right edge when facing the dorsal face).

Secondary hard hammer struck flake, of mottled dark and mid-grey flint, an area of brown within the flint to the distal end and one side of the bulbs of percussion; this is doubled from being partially struck twice to detatch the flake from the core. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Neolithic scraper on a secondary flake. This has an off-centre arise on the dorsal and a very large bulb of percussion on the ventral. The forward edge has semi-abrupt, direct retouch that creates a curved leading edge. The flint is covered in a creamy patina with light grey patches, 3% cortex on the leading edge.

County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper dating from the late neolithic period to the early bronze age. The shape is largely circular in plan and in section protrudes to a point on the dorsal face. The body of the scraper is largely a light grey colour, with a gradation to dark grey to the left of the ventral face (and right of the dorsal), distal end up. Very little cortex remains and is mostly found on the mesal. The dorsal face shoes long, scaled, semi-abrupt retouching. The ventral side features long ripple marks across its length which emanate from the bulb of percussion.

A late neolithic to early bronze age flint thumbnail scraper. The shape is largely oval, and in section it protrudes toward the distal end. A small area of cortex is present on the dorsal face and the body is largely grey/warm brown, with an area of white on the ventral face. On the dorsal surface, there is short retouching visible on the outer rind, which in some areas appears parallel, and in other semi-parallel. The angle of retouch is semi-abrupt. The bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral face but appears quite subtle.

Secondary, hard hammer struck flake, from a single platform core: - of unpatinated light grey mottled flint, a small patch of thin, cortex remains to the distal end of the dorsal face. Both lateral edges are either finely use worn or slightly damaged, otherwise they are without steep retouch, the platform is heavily trimmed to the dorsal face before this flake was detached from the core; with five main previous flake removals to this face. Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 4,000 to 1,500 BC.

A Neolithic or early Bronze Age scraper struck from a secondary flake of grey flint, 49.4mm in length. The distal end and adjacent part of the right side has short abrupt retouch to define a working edge. The other side of the distal end is broken, and has battering damage, probably pre-dating the removal of the flake from the core. A small area of light brown coloured cortex is retained on one side of the proximal end of the dorsal surface, which tapers to a small striking platform.

A Neolithic flint nosed or hollow scraper struck from a secondary flake of grey brown flint. The distal end and left side long edge has short abrupt retouch defining two slightly concave working edges, with further retouch around the rounded projection between, on the left corner which has been similarly worked to create a "nose". The proximal end retains a small patch of cortex.

A curved flint blade of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 63mm in length and struck from a patinated grey-brown flint with small patches of cortex on the distal end and dorsal surface. The distal end has been worked into a point with short abrupt retouch along the concave edge, suggesting possible use as a piercer. There is a second patch of retouch around a small notch near the proximal end, suggesting that the tool may have been multi functional.

A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 40.1mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with the bulb of percussion on one long side; this has been intentionally reduced with scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

An early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a pale brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2) and bifacially worked, with both faces having patches of long, low-angle intrusive and covering pressure-flaked retouch to refine the distal point and reduce the bulbar scar at the proximal end. The cross section is lenticular.
