Record ID: SF-42B8C0
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A reworked Neolithic polished stone reworked axehead. It is roughly oval in shape and plano-convex in cross section. Several areas on both faces feature the original polished surface and this is particularly apparent at the butt end of one face. The outer end appears to have broken away, however, and the remaining portion of the axe has been retouched with large, scaled, invasive flakes to allow it to be reused. The stone is light grey in colour, perhaps some kind of flint, with some patination and patches of high gloss in places. The original polished axe would have been of Neolit…

An incomplete and re-worked polished Neolithic axehead. It is roughly oval in form and pointed-oval in cross section, and struck from a mottled pale grey flint. One edge and part of one face have the remains of extensive polishing, however the surrounding areas of both faces have extensive flake removal. The axe is very sort and both ends of the object have short, semi-abrupt and scaled retouch. Thissuggeststhat it may have been damaged or broken in antiquity and then subsequently re-worked for different usage, the original polished axe being much larger. It measures 73.29mm in length…

If this is indeed the case then it is likely to be of Neolithic date (c.4000-2550 BC), however is it is simply a retouched blade then an earlier Mesolithic date cannot be ruled out entirely.

Both faces have extensive and fine flake removal and the remains of polished surfaces are visible particularly in higher areas of the faces and towards the blade ends. Areas of polishing at the blade end towards the end of flake scars indicates that it was probably n…

Flint discoidal knife, semi-circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in section, with a polished curved back to the blade, which is also slightly convex. The knife has been bifacially reworked and the blade edge retouched and then polished along with the back which may have been for hafting or hand-held. It was no doubt polished for decorative reasons as well as practical ones. The flint is an orangey-brown colour and was probably derived from a locally mined flint nodule. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example of a discoidal knife with a p…

A polished flint axehead with narrow butt and squared sides. All-over polish with only a few former flake scars present, mainly on butt butt half of axe. Polish is coarse apart from blade end where it is fine. The surface is a mixture of mid brown and grey, possibly partial peat staining. However, one side of the cutting edge has a series of unstained flakes removed at a later date, showing a mid grey flint. These flakes look like retouch but are possibly plough damage that occurred when the axe was buried at the base of the plough line in a sub-vertical position, relatively recently.…

A small slightly irregular partly polished Neolithic flint axe head. Measuring 112.6mm in length, 64mm in width at the widest point and 22.6mm in thickness at the thickest point. This axehead is complete apart from six small recent edge nicks which expose sub-surface black flint. The black flint revealed underneath the nicks is suprisingly unusual for flint axes in East Anglia which suggets that most black flint axes are actually imported into the area from elsewhere. Elsewhere the axe head is patinated blue grey. On one face this is more mottled and there is a patch of co…

A somewhat crudely and heavily flaked flint axehead, complete except for slight damage to the butt. Measuring 169mm in length, 72mm in maximum width, and 37mm in maximum thickness. It has all-over deep bifacial working. It is oval in form with a slightly tapered butt. It has a cortex cutting edge with squat, heavy flake scars- possibly resulting from use damage. It has a lenticular cross-section. It has a few recent surface scars probably due to plough damage, mainly affecting the high points on one face and the butt. A medium grey flint under mottled pale to medium brown…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A complete flaked flint axehead, measuring 159mm in length, 67.5mm in maximum width and 32mm in maximum thickness. This axehead has all-over bifacial working with controlled deep shallow flaking. There are single patches of thin off-white/pale brown cortex in the centre of each face. The butt of this axehead is tapered and the blade is almost square with a central concave hollow, possibly created through use damage. It has a lenticular cross-section. There is no trace of a polish on the axehead. A few small edge chips reveal medium to pale grey flint (possibly a patination?)…
