A partially patinated flint 'bruised' or backed blade, of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with patinated blue/grey surfaces. The proximal end has a small striking platform and bulb of percussion, with limited semi-abrupt and scaled retouch and parallel blade scars on the dorsal face, perhaps for deliberate usage as a scraper or similar tool. The entire object is triangular in cross-section with flake removal on the two facets of the dorsal face, particulalry along one facet that has invasive and scaled flake removal. Both side…

A partially patinated flint object, possibly a blade or backed blade, of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with patinated blue/grey surfaces particularly on one side of hte dorsal face, cortex remaining on the opposite side of the dorsal face and the distal(?) end. The thicker distal(?) end and the narrower proximal(?) end both have hinge fractures and the narrow rod of the body is triangular in cross section. Both facets of the dorsal face have flake removal, particularly on the facet that retains its cortex, which has invasive…

A partially patinated flint blade of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with patinated blue/grey surfaces, particularly evident on the ventral face. The proximal end has a small striking platform and bulb of percussion. It is triangular in cross section with parallel flake scars on the dorsal face that extend towards the centre of the blade where there is a small area of cortex and additional flake or blade scars at an angle of 90 degrees. This perhaps suggests re-use of a core, or that this blade is a core rejuvination flake. On…

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A patinated flint core of possible Upper Palaeolithic date. It is triangular in section, semi-circular in form and incomplete due to old breaks. The proximal end retains its cortex, and one face has vertical flake or blade removal, perhaps with limited edge retouch at the distal end.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A patinated and re-used lithic implement of Upper Palaolithic or later date. One face has a patination that is dark red to orange/brown in colour with extensive flake removal. At a later date the object appears to have been re-used resulting in the opposite face being removed and revealing the unpatinated dark grey flint at the core of the object, with relatively neat edge retouch along one side and some possibly flake removal at one end (distal end?). The entire object measures 119.85mm in length, 93.68mm in width, 30.31mm in thickness and 406g in weight. The patination on the orig…

A large flint blade core of possible Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic date. It is struck from a mottled dark brown flint that has had the exterior surfaces removed from all faces with the exception of traces of cortex on one side. It is now roughly square in section and rectangular in form, tapering towards one end. The core has two opposed striking platforms and one face has multiple long blade scars. It measures 132.61mm in length, 70.52mm in width, 70.66mm in thickness, and weighs 859g. This is a large blade core of probable Upper Palaeolithic to early Mesolithic date, c.80,000-6.500 BC.

A flint laurel leaf blade, probably of Neolithic, or possibly earlier, date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint that has a mottled orange/white patina. The object is ovoid in form, biconvex in section and bifacially worked, narrowing at one end but seemingly complete. Both faces have shallow but well controlled retouch formed from relatively large, shallow flakes with limited edge retouch at both ends and in areas of the sides/edges. It measures 133.48mm in length, 58.99mm in width, 14.10mm in thickness, and weighs 119.52g. The form of this object suggest it is probably a dagger …
