County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy Bronze Age arrowhead, dating to 2500-1500 BC. It is barbed and tanged, having one of the barbs broken off; both faces have a low mid ridge, which flattens towards the tang. The tang is rounded at the base and the overall cross-section of the arrowhead is slightly lozengiform. It has relatively crude notches between the tang and barbs, and it might have been poorly cast. Early Bronze Age metalwork often follows earlier and contemporary lithic forms and these examples are no exception, paralleling the more common 'barbed and tanged' flint arrowheads. Cf LEI…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete iron medieval socketed 'broadhead' arrowhead. Both sides of the blade are missing leaving its original form unclear. A low, rounded mid-rib runs down the centre of both faces of the blade, expanding to develop into an elongated circular cross-sectioned socket at its inner end. The socket is c.18.00mm in length and c.10.5mm in diameter. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded. This is probably one of Jessop's (1997, 2) 'early multi-purpose forms', which he suggests date mainly to the 11th to 14th century AD (ibid.). In the LMMC catalogue (1967) ty…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped flint arrowhead dating to the Early Neolithic, c. 4000-3000 BC. This is a leaf-shaped example, being broadly lenticular in plan with a widened butt and tapering sides that converge to form a sharp point. Manufactured on a tertiary flake of dark brownish black flint, the arrowhead demonstrates invasive retouch (pressure flaking) on both faces-though this has not removed all of the original flaked surface. Preserved in fresh condition, it measures 31.4mm in length, 14.83mm wide at its widest point, 2.66mm thick at its midpoint and weighs 1.74g.

A complete knapped flint arrowhead dating to the later Neolithic, c. 3300-2400 BC. It is broadly triangular in plan, one edge straight and the other slightly angled, converging to its point (now missing). At the base of the arrowhead is a rather stubby tang, slightly damaged where it connects with the straight edge of the arrowhead. On the opposite side of the tang, a shallow curving notch is visible. Manufactured on a tertiary flake of bluish white patinated flint, the straight edge demonstrates directly applied pressure flaked long removals extending up its entire edge, the angled e…

A complete copper alloy trilobed socketed arrow or projectile head of uncertain date. The object is triangular in cross-section with three regularly spaced fins, each expanding towards the inner edge and diminishing towards the outer tip. At the inner end there is a short socket, circular in cross-section. Although socketed medieval arrowheads with a triangular cross-section are found, these typically have a longer socket and less pronounced fins than this example (see LMMC, 66, fig.16, nos.8-12). Instead it most closely resembles Iron Age and Roman examples from the southern Medi…

Late Neolithic chisel type arrowhead, made from an unpatinated tertiary flake of grey/brown flint; with the (now removed) bulb of percussion angled towards the right side of the ventral face of the broad cutting edge. The lateral edges expand from a 10 mm butt and are semi-invasively and bifacially flaked, and the cutting edge is similarly reouched only on the dorsal face, one corner of this edge is missing, presumably broken in antiquity as the break is glossy. Otherwise it is a good and large example of the type.

An incomplete knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowhead dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-3000 BC. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with a straight, even profile that tapers towards its tip, and has been manufactured on a flake of very fine translucent light grey flint. Both faces of the arrowhead demonstrate heavily invasive covering retouch achieved by the means of pressure flaking, which has removed all of the original flake surfaces. The arrowhead has suffered post-depositional edge damage down its lateral edges, and part of the butt has broken away, leaving it square instead …

A complete and unfinished leaf-shaped arrowhead dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-300 BC. It is broadly leaf-shaped in plan view and plano convex in section, with a rounded upper surface. Secondary working in the form of pressure flaking is evinced on the upper surface, which has been used to form the right hand edge, tip, and rough-out the left hand edge of the arrowhead. The underside is completely plain and demonstrates no modification whatsoever. The butt is unformed, and the majority of the piece retains its original surface, with only the aforementioned areas demonstrating…
