Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint hammerstone probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, c. 4000-750 BC. It consists a partly cortified sub-spherical lump of flint, with heavy abrasion, signs of crushing and batter marks covering most if its surfaces. It measures c. 74.04mm in diameter, and weighs 643g. Hard hammerstones of this size and weight would likely have been utilised for the primary stages of knapping, 'opening' the nodule and removing initial flakes.
