Object type: BORER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete worked flint possible borer of probable Bronze Age date (c.2350-800 BC). Description: The object is broadly triangular in shape with a slightly curved ventral face. It is formed of a tertiary flake with a translucent grey colour with some darker grey areas. The proximal end has been formed into a blunt point with short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch to both sides and there are conchoidal ripple marks on the ventral face. This end is much thinner in thickness than the distal end as about a third of the way down the length there is a ridge ac…

A  flint borer of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, dating to 4000-1600 BC. It is a secondary flake, knapped from a light grey flint core. It is sub-rectangular in plan. The ventral face has a small bulb of percussion and well defined conchoidal ripples on the ventral face only following hard hammer knapping. A small flake has been removed from two edges on the ventral face and one long edge on the dorsal face. The distal end is broken near the terminal but originally was probably used as a borer.  Length - 45.62mm,  Width - 33.16mm, Thic…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped flint borer of probable Bronze Age date, c. 2500-1150 BC. It has been manufactured on a hard-hammer detached triangular flake of brownish black flint demonstrating infrequent yellowish inclusions. There are two arrises on the dorsal face, while the platform is plain and demonstrates no preparation. The boring portion of the tool has been formed by continuous directly applied scalar retouch along the dorsal right edge, while the dorsal left edge is unmodified with the exception of some fairly recent edge damage. Preserved in relatively fresh condition, it measures 49…
