County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A bifacially worked flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date. It is struck from a dark grey/brown flint, pointed in form with rounded butt end, and pointed oval in cross-section. Both faces have extensive and thick mottled pale brown patination, with small areas of cortex remaining at the butt end of the dorsal(?) face and centre of the ventral(?) face. The object is bifacially worked with covering, low angled flake removal. More recent damage has resulted in exposure of the unpatinated flint, particularly around the edges and especially at the butt end where a large recent flake has …

A patinated flint long flake or blade of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with partially patinated blue/grey surfaces. The proximal end has a hinge fracture and the distal end has a small area of unpatinated semi-abrupt and scaled retouch on the ventral face. The dorsal face has parallel flake or blade scars and both edges appear to have sigs of possible 'bruising'. It measures 108.66mm in length, 43.94mm in width, 14.77mm in thickness, and 50.90g in weight. This is a flint long flake or blade. It forms one part of a larger …

A patinated flint blade of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with patinated blue/grey surfaces and small bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has parallel blade scars giving the object a triangulr cross section, but seemingly no additional retouch. It measures 158mm in length, 30.55mm in width, 13.05mm in thickness, and 48.54g in weight. This is a flint blade. It forms one part of a larger assemblage of flint blades, flakes, and tools, all found together on spoil excavated from a single pit during the construction of a soakawa…

A patinated flint 'bruised' blade of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with patinated blue/grey surfaces, snapped towards the distal end. The blade is trapezoidal in cross-section with small striking platform and bulb of percussion, and parallel blade scars on the dorsal face. The distal end has a hinge fracture and is patinated. Both sides have areas of 'bruised' edge damage, perhaps resultant from usage. It measures 125.16mm in length, 46.13mm in width, 17.34mm in thickness, and 94.17g in weight.

Object type: FABRICATOR
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked flint implement of uncertain form, possibly a fabricator or similar item, and perhaps of Mesolithic or earlier date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint that has dark red to brown patination on most surfaces, one face (ventral face?) preserving a heavily stained red/brown cortex. The object is roughly triangular in plan and cross-section, tapering to an elongated rod with blunt end that is sub-circular in cross-section. The dorsal face has relatively crude but invasive semi-abrupt flake removal, the blunt tip of the object also demonstrating multiple transverse flake scars. …

A bifacially worked flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date. It is pointed in form, pointed oval in cross-section, and struck from a grey/brown flint that has extensive and thick orange/yellow patination that is speckled in places. Both faces have covering, low angled and scalar retouch, the dorsal face retaining an area of cortex at its centre. More recent damage has resulted in exposure of the unpatinated flint, particularly around the edges and tip of the object, and a modern breakage to one side has been repaired by the finder. This axe measures 118.03mm in length, 63.15mm in wid…

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint lower to middle paleolithic cordate handaxe. It is leaf-shaped and roughly planoconvex in cross-section. Both faces are covered with shallow, invasive flaking and there are further patches of sub-parallel, long, low angle retouch along the edges on both faces. The flint is dark brown in colour with a glossy patina and there are patches of a hard silty deposit on one face. It survives in remarkably fine condition with fairly sharp edges and minimal damage. Length: 146.34mm, width: 92.90mm, thickness: 28.73mm, weight: 408g

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A ?complete flint implement of probable palaeolithic date. It is large, roughly oval in shape and triangular in cross-section. Cortex still covers part of the dorsal face. There is a lot of damage around all sides of the butt end and the bulb of percussion is not visible. There are a few long, thin flaking scars at the distal end of the dorsal face and a small amount of irregular retouch around this edge, but this is crude and as such the object is difficult to classify as a formal tool type. All faces are covered in an orange patina as a probable result of deposition in river gravels…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A ?complete flint implement of probable palaeolithic date. It is a large natural flake, roughly triangular in shape, but there appears to be a some irregular, short, abrupt retouch along two of the sides. This is very crude and as such the object is difficult to classify as a formal tool type. The majority of both faces is covered in an orange patina as a probable result of deposition in river gravels, suggesting a palaeolithic date, but one end has a milky grey patina probably from where it was in contact with a different type of deposit.

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Published
A patinated blade point projectile of Early Upper Palaeolithic date. It is struck from a grey flint that is patinated dark yellow/orange to brown, particularly at the proximal(?) end. The blade is triangular in cross section, with parallel blade scars on the dorsal face and a hinge fracture at the distal(?) end. Both edges have limited flake removal that is perhaps the result of use wear or damage rather than deliberate retouch. At the proximal(?) end the dorsal face has invasive and low angled parallel flake removal, while the ventral face has extensive covering and scaled retouch. I…

A patinated and snapped flake, perhaps the distal end of a retouched flake. It is of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. The object is struck from a grey flint and is roughly triangular in form, oval in section, with snapped proximal end that has possible unpatinated parallel and abrupt retouch. Both faces have evidence for limited flake removal and thick patination that is orange to green/black on one face and and green/brown on the other. Around the distal end there is possible short, semi-abrupt and scaled retouch that produces a rounded point. It measures 64.07mm…

A patinated flake, perhaps a core rejuvenation flake, of possible final Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date. It is struck from a grey/brown flint with blue/grey patination, cortex remaining in a small area at the distal end. The flake has a small striking platform and relatively prominent bulb of percussion with multiple flake scars on the dorsal face. One side of the flake may perhaps have formed part of a core platform with damage or preparation from where the flakes and blades were originally struck. Along one side of the flake is a small area of 'bruised' edge damage, perhaps re…
