Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete probable Neolithic to Early Bronze Age lithic implement dating to circa 4000-1600 BC. Made on a tertiary flake, it is sub-ovate in plan and plano-convex in section. At one end is a pointed edge. Negative scaring on the dorsal face indicates the that the the tool was constructed through further knapping and probable functioned as a piercer, using for creating holes in leather or wood.

A complete flint scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. A tertiary, sub-circular flake, struck with a hard hammer and with a bulb scar on the ventral face. A ridge runs across the centre of the outer face from one end to the other. There is short, abrupt, scaled retouch around the distal end and extending along the full extent of both sides of the dorsal face. There is a small amount of mottled patination on the surface, which also has a shiny gloss. Length: 42.8mm, width: 36.2mm, thickness: 8.2mm, weight: 18g

A complete knapped flint lithic implement (possibly a crude knife) dating to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age, c. 3000-1150 BC. The tool appears to have been manufactured on a broadly triangular core rejuvenation flake, the dorsal face highly 'humped' and demonstrating numerous intersecting blade/flake negatives. The ventral face has been worked inversely, with large invasive removals (perhaps soft hammer) creating a rather crude edge. A notch is visible in the opposing edge, though whether this is a knapped feature or simply edge damage remains unclear. Preserved in somewhat patinate…

A complete knapped flint lithic implement dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, c. 4000-1500 BC. The implement probably represents a bifacially worked knife, consisting an elongated sub-triangular flake with a rounded butt, pointed tip and lenticular cross-section. It has been manufactured on a dark bluish-grey piece of fine-grained flint, with some iron staining and small white inclusions visible. The original support for this tool seems to have consisted a relatively large secondary or tertiary flake, with one edge still demonstrating the remains of a patinated outer white surface.…

A complete flint late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint implement, possibly a knife. It is roughly triangular in shape with a shorter straight side and two outwards curving longer sides. It is oval in cross-section and bifacially worked. There is low angle, scaled retouch covering both faces with a small amount of cortex remaining in places on both. There is an unworked section on one face behind the straight side, which is still covered with a thick whitish patina. The two longer sides coverge to produce a rounded point with some damage around it. The flint is a mottled dark grey c…

Neolithic to Early Bronze Age lithic implement dating to c. 4000 - 1501 BC. The object is in the form of a blade like flake. A secondary flake with c, 20% cortex remaining. There is fine scaled semi-abrult retouch to the distal end. Fien retouch to distal end on dorsal face. Lithic implement. The flint is a semi-translucent light grey-brown.

Neolithic to Early Bronze Age lithic implement dating to the period c. 4000 - 1501 BC. A hard hammer struck secondary flake retaining c. 5% cortex. It exhibits semi-abrupt semi-invastive sub-parallel retouch extending from the distal end to approximately halfway along one mesal edge. The flint is dark grey with occasional light grey inclusions.

An incomplete flint implement, probably a scraper, of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. It is roughly triangular in shape with a rounded point at the distal end and is formed on a secondary flake with cortex still covering the right side of the dorsal face. There are long, narrow flaking scars on the dorsal face and very fine, short, low angle, parallel retouch along the left side of the dorsal face. There is an abrupt break across the proximal end and the fragment was probably part of a larger implement originally. The flint is grey-brown in colour. Length: 35.08mm, wid…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint (probable) Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint implement. It is pentagonal in shape with a long, pointed left side, which appears to have been formed deliberately via the removal of a flake on each side. The object may therefore have functioned as an awl or borer of some kind, but as there is little other evidence of retouch it is difficult to offer a formal identification. Several small flakes have been removed from each face and from the right edge of the dorsal face. It is mid-grey in colour with an unusually shiny patina. Length: 61.87mm, width: 39.84mm, thickn…
