Record ID: SF-4602BD
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a probable Bronze Age copper-alloy socketed axe or axehead dating to circa 1600-800 BC. The fragment is cast, flat and an odd 'D' shape in plan, probably representing the socket mouth. Its edges are worn away and probably all fractured. There is a marked transverse ridge near and parallel to one edge, the thickness of the fragment tapers away from the ridge to a rounded end,.

Object type: SWORD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Bronze Age copper-alloy sword dating 1600-800 BC. It consists of a fragment of the blade. It is sub-rectangular in plan and lenticular in section. One end contains a fairly recent break, tapering inwards into a fairly old break. The edges are rounded and slughtly jagged. The faces of the blade are plain.
The fragment attaches to SF-F0B182 from which it has broken off.
The fragmentary remains preclude typological designation so it is broadly dated from the Middle to Late Bronze Age.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to circa 2350-1600 BC. It is triangular in shape with projecting short rounded barbs. The central tang is largely missing. It is bifically worked; both faces have short, scaled, low-angle retouch along the edges and mesals. The flint is a dark grey largely opaque with no patination.

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Bronze Age to Medieval copper-alloy awl dating to circa BC 1500-1540 AD. It is double-ended and broadly sub-rectangular, tapering to each end from a wide central point. Its ends are sharp and pointed. It has four equal-sized facets.
Awls of this form can date from circa the Middle Bronze Age, though the Bronze Age form was more commonly characterised by one cylindrical end, as SF-132BE9. They persist through to the Medieval period.

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete copper alloy early Bronze Age flanged axe. The outer part of the butt is missing. It has strongly concave sides with a flaring, outwards curving blade. A low flange runs down either side, disappearing towards the blade. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded and the breaks are well worn.
This example probably belongs to the Willerby or Arreton metalworking phases, which equates to Needham's (2017, fig.16) Period 3 or Period 4 - c.1900 BC -c.1500 BC

A copper-alloy fragment probably of a Bronze Age to Medieval awl, dating to 1150 BC - AD 1450. The shank has a rectangular cross-section and tapers and thins towards a chisel-shaped end. The surfaces are moderately worn and covered by a light green patina.
Small awls and tools of this type were used for an extensive period of time, as such dating the object more accurately is difficult.

An incomplete copper alloy Bronze Age dirk or rapier blade, probably dating to 1400-1100 BC. It is sub-triangular in plan and has a longitudinal narrow rib at the centre of both faces.

Cast copper-alloy sword fragment, probably dating from the Later Bronze Age, that is c. 1250-800BC. The fragment is triangular with a pointed oval cross-section. The surface is worn and only few patches of the greenish brown patina survive; the blunt tip is slightly bent. The fragment is too small to be completely certain of the sword type, but it is likely a sword type that was part of the Late Bronze Age Wilburton or Ewart Park metalwork assemblages.

A copper-alloy Bronze Age to Medieval copper-alloy awl 1250 BC-AD 1500. It has a rectangular cross-sectioned which tapers from the centre towards both ends; one end is rounded while the opposite is chisel-shaped. The surfaces are moderately corroded.
Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but examples of this form are thought to have been introduced in the Bronze Age and they have barely changed throughout the centuries.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A later Bronze Age to Iron Age coarse flint scraper, dating to 1000-100 BC. It has a roughly V shape in plan and a plano convex cross-section; it is a tertiary flake, which has been manufactured from a mottled grey core. The ventral face is slightly wavy due to the concentric thick ripples generated from the stroke. The dorsal face has short, scaled and abrupt retouches on one edge and on the the inner edges of the V-shaped notch.
It has been suggested that the flint could be a transverse arrow head but, there are no retouches on the ventral face apart from few chips on one edge…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy fragment of a Bronze Age spearhead, dating to AD to c. BC 1500 -1150. it is the fragment of the tip; it is sub-triangular in plan and has a lozenge shape in cross-section. Both faces of the fragment have a longitudinal midrib and they end in a now blunt point. The blade edges are heavily damaged and the base of the fragment has an old transverse break. The surfaces have a brownish green patina and moderate damages. Unfortunately, the object has lost most of its diagnostic features and as a result further classification is difficult.

Fragment of a copper alloy small middle Bronze Age socketed side-looped spearhead. Only part of the socket survives. This is a hollow tubula shape, expanding slightly towards its inner, blade end, and is lozenge-shaped in cross-section. The remains of small flattened loops project to either side, their outer faces both missing. The entirety of the blade is missing making it difficult to further classify the object. The surface of the metal is very heavily corroded and the breaks at either end are well worn.
Although small in size, this is not unusual for spears of this…

A fragment of a copper alloy late Bronze Age 'Thorndon' Type double-edged socketed knife. Only the section where the socket joins the blade survives. The socket is oval in cross-section with v-shaped notches running inwards on either face of its inner end. The small surviving section of the blade is a flattened oval in cross-section with only a very slightly raised mid-rib running down the centre of each face and missing blade edges. The breaks are all well worn.
This knife form dates to the Wilburton-Ewart Park phase of the late Bronze Age, c.1140-c.800 BC.
