Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very regular spherical flint hammerstone with all-over, but fine, percussion scars. The regularity of this hammerstine is unusual but it is presumably still later prehistoric in date (4000-100 BC). Diameter 60.5-62.5mm and weight is 323g.

Probable Neolithic oval tertiary flake of smokey brownish flint with some edge damage but probably deliberate fine steep retouch around the distal end. The retouch is semi-abrupt and suggests possible use as a scraper.

Possible Neolithic flake of pale grey flint, curved in profile, lacking any bulb of percussion or conchoidal fracture, but with area on the cortex face which appears to be polished and has some parallel scratch marks. Probably formed when a polished axe shattered in use. If so then Neolithic.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic/Early Neolithic conical flake flint core (Clark’s type A) with an unusual carefully prepared platform. In black flint with only a trace of thin cortex. This is probably the residue of a well used core which may in its earlier stages have been designed to produce blades.

2 Late Prehistoric scrapers: End on long secondary flake with cortex on right lateral edge. Steep, rather coarse retouch. End and left side scraper edges on small oval, sidestruck. secondary flake. Retouch on distal edge is rather irregular: that on the left side is finer and more regular but is ventral. Probably late prehistoric, i.e. Late Bronze or Iron Age.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Prehistoric/Lower Paleolithic Retouched (reutilised) flake. Secondary flake, in the form of a scalene triangle, in brown stained flint with two patches of thick weathered and brown stained cortex on the dorsal face. The left lateral edge has fine steep retouch along its distal edge while the right edge has a shallow, ventrally retouched, notch on its proximal edge together with a larger scalar removal. All these modifications are recent, post-staining, suggesting reuse of an old flake. Probably a reused Palaeolithic flake.

Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic end scraper of a dark, almost black flint. It is beautifully shaped, curving around thickly to reach a short straight side. This side has a triangular cut in it, presenting a small separate platform which is the only asymmetry in the object. All three large removals as well as retouch removals are visible, and the object is in very good condition, though there is some patinisation on the ventral face.

Neolithic polished axe Dimensions: 180 x 76 x 44mm A large, heavy and highly polished example, with a broad, curved cutting edge which is sharp and undamaged. The butt is rounded and retains some residual flake scars as do the lateral edges, which are rounded. The surface of the axe is patinated and stained a cream colour, with some iron streaks, probably from plough contact. Unusually the residual flake scars are paler in colour than the main surface and also have some traces of a black deposit in the edges of the scars. Axes of this quality and size may not have been made for use bu…

Neolithic polished axe (142 x 56 x 28mm). Part polished flint axe, stained buff brown over (probably) pale grey flint. Polish is confined to the cutting edge which has some minor ancient damage, though some slight rubbing extends to the arrises on one face and to one lateral edge. The remainder of the surface is neatly finished by flaking. The lateral edges are fairly straight and lead to a narrow blunt butt. c.4000 - c.2300 BC

Probably Neolithic serrated piece (86 x 50 x 15mm). An irregular side struck flake of pale grey flint with traces of cortex on both lateral edges. Part of the long distal edge is thin and finely serrated. The serrations show slight evidence of polish, probably from use as a knife or sickle.
