A Neolithic to early Bronze Age retouched flint flake, dating to 2500-1500 BC. It is a triangular tertiary flake which has a flat platform of percussion at the short side and a prominent bulb of percussion on the ventral face; concentric ripples run down the latter face from the bulb. The dorsal face has a longitudinal central ridge and two steep sides; the flake has a triangular cross-section. The long edges of the dorsal face have short, scaled and abrupt retouches; especially one side of the tip. The flake has been manufactured from a mid grey flint core and the retouches were made…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint flaked and polished axe of probable late Neolithic date. The axe is an elongated flame-shape, sub-oval in cross-section. It is unusually long and narrow, but not outside the range of know forms. There is invasive, scaled, low angle retouch on both faces with limited polishing visible in places at the wider end. There is a thick orange-stained patina covering most of the surface, but with small amounts of post-deposition damage around the edges where the patina has been removed. Polishing on only parts of the surface can be indicative of a late Neolithic date, …

A complete flint Mesolithic tranchet axe. It is sub-trapezoidal in shape; long and narrow, but becoming slightly wider blade end. It is roughly lozenge-shaped in cross-section with a raised central ridge running longitundinally across both faces. Both faces have been reshaped using invasive, scaled retouch with small patches of cortex remaining in places. There appear to be attempts at transverse 'tranchet' flake removal on both faces of the cutting edge. The surface is covered with thick orange stained cortex. The darker flint beneath is partially visible on one face. Length: 15…
