Record ID: SF-ADEB92
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete (though broken into three parts 12 weeks after discovery, now glued back together again) large hollow-based flint arrowhead. All-over re-touch, off white/cream coloured flint, which appears to be the natural colour rather than patination. The form is relatively straight sided with slight splaying at barbs. The concavity of the hollow base is relatively slight. Lenght 85mm, width 37mm and thickness 9mm. Hollow based arrow heads, although present in the early Bronze Age (circa 2500-1500 BC) contexts are rare in East Anglia. Ay other example as large as this has not …

Object type: DAGGER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Bronze Age flint dagger, measuring 165x61.5x22.5mm and weighing 216.01g. Both faces have been extensively flaked, with additional abrupt flaking all the way around the edges. One face has had many short flakes removed, but to one side only. This face has also had less abrupt working to the edges than the other face, and the point has not been worked, wheareas on the other face it has been, quite extensively, making it very sharp. The butt end is rounded but also quite sharp. The flint is dark grey/ black in colour with spots of a lighter brown. It also has a very light patination…

Record ID: SOM-4E4545
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead of early Bronze Age date. The arrowhead measures 34.2mm by 20.7mm by 4.2mm and weighs 2.6g. It has been invasively retouched over both faces. There is a small notch along one edge which probably reflects recent damage. The arrowhead weighs less than 8g and has a small length to width ratio, so this example is a Sutton type. The partially transparent mid-brown flint has a mid-gloss patina.

Record ID: SF-D1A176
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead re-utilising earlier patinated flake tool (probably Mesolithic). Extremely simple unpatinated retouch, very steep and vertical, limited to edges only. End of tip missing, tang is very slight and sub-triangular. 24.64mm in length and 25.73mm in width. Although flint barbed and tanged arrowheads are a diagnostic early Bronze Age type the unusual nature of the edge working (possibly make by pliers?) and the form (particularly triangular) may suggest a more modern creation and working, perhaps by the Brnadon gun-flint knappers of the 19th and ear…
