A complete flint lower Paleolithic handaxe likely to date to around 600,000 BC. Sub-cordate shape (Wymer (1999) Type E/D) with retouch mainly confined to the edges of both faces. There is a large patch of pebble cortex remaining in the centre of one face. The edges and surfaces are heavily abraded.  Found along the north Suffolk coast on the edge of the Pakefield to Kessingland outcrop of forest bed material (see Robins et al. 2008).  Length: 121.53mm, width: 91.76mm, thickness: 29.11mm, weight: 340g

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 bifacially worked implement of probable Neolithic date. It is an elongated sub-oval shape and symmetrical pointed oval in cross-section. There is covering, scaled retouch on both faces with some finer retouch along the sides and ends. Patchy brown patination covers a small area of flaking in the centre of one face, while there is limited patination elsewhere (perhaps suggesting that an earlier object may have been reworked?). There is very little signs of wear and a little rolling in places on the edges. The general consensus seems to be that this is an implement…

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 retouched flint blade (possible awl/borer) of probable Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. A tertiary blade, struck using a hard hammer. It has an elongated sharp point to the right side of the distal end, which has been enhanced using a small amount of retouch. There is additional short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch along both edges of the dorsal face and a small amount of invasive retouch in the centre of this face, running from one side of the central ridge. The flint is a dark grey colour with very little patination. Length: 51.6mm, width: 19.6mm, thickness: 6.9mm, w…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.…
