Record ID: NMS-C0E303
Object type: CORE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Core in mint condition, all flakes are hard hammer struck from a sub-cylindrical section of unpatinated black flint, with thin weathered cortex extant to the areas that have not been modified. One "edge" has been formed by bifacial flake removals, the thicker end has a transverse flake struck from it, a previous (cortical) flake scar has given the platform to do so. Small traces of clay remain in the deep parts of the surface mostly to one side,this is the remains of the deposit at site 3 it was recovered from. Lower Palaeolithic, Circa 600,000 BC, possibly earlier.

The butt of the adze is relatively unpatinated, with a tiny patch of cortex extant to the very tip of the butt, the rest of the dorsal cortex is completely removed by flaking, this face shows the flint to have originally been mid-grey, the other parts of the adze are now patinated a…

An Early Bronze Age flint dagger, measuring 152 x 35 x 19mm. This object is an imitation of a hafted metal dagger in pale grey flint (shown by a small chip near the dagger point), stained pale brown all over, with darker flint showing at the end of the hilt. The maximum width is at the blade, which narrows to a neck of width 28mm towards the hilt, at the same time thickening to the full 19mm. Much of the flaking is coarse and by percussion and the maker has failed to remove hinged flakes scars on each face at the handle end. Some bifacial shallow scars defining the edges…

The axe has been damaged at some point to the cutting edge, it appears that a large flake has initiated at the cutting edge (presumably in use) and has left a “plunging” flake to one face, the flake has terminated in a large step fracture, this is a common feature to axes that have broken in use, like NMS-7AE7C9, NMS-E21D6A and NMS-4EA515, the last t…

Potlid fractures like this with what appears to be retouch to the thin edges are usually dismissed as being not man-made, however in this instance the more curved edge of the two appears to have had a succession of bifacial flakes driven from it, in one spot the flakes pass through a fossil inclusion, in contrast, the straighter of the two ed…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper struck from a primary nodule flake of dark brown flint. The edge has short abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch to create a working edge. There is no evidence for a prepared striking platform although one side of the tool has considerable damage from battering, possibly consistent with hard-hammered removal; however the overall form suggests a natural potlid / frost fractured flake which has been casually re-used.
Probably of later prehistoric date, but (given the findspot) potentially earlier.
