Object type: ARM GUARD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete Early Bronze Age stone arm guard (bracer) dating to circa 2300-2100 BC. Broadly rectangular in plan in section it has polished bevelled edges. At either end are located central circular drilled apertures to enable fixing to the arm. The faces of the stone have been smoothed. One end is slightly wider than the other. Broadly linear striations on both faces are the result of the bow having snapped-back during firing. A very similar armguard was recovered from the Stonehenge Archer burial assemblage, radiocarbon dated to circa 2300 BC (Heath 2012: 122-123) whilst two were…

Object type: ARMLET
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy armlet fragment; flat-ended, lipped terminal, surviving curving section of band hollow cast with three transverse grooves on the upper surface behind the terminal. At reverse a crude rectangular slot has been cut roughly midway along the band from the breakage, which is irregular as if deliberately hacked. A small off-cut section of the band is enclosed loose within the hollow interior. The fragment has a fine bronze patina with small patches of invasive corrosion.

Record ID: SF3816
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An atypical barbed and tanged arrowhead made from a bifacially worked flake. The tang is off-centre so that there is only room for a barb to one side. Secondary working is confined to the edges, the tip has broken off and the arrowhead is a nice unpatinated deep brown.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Haft end of flat copper-alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead. Edges are no longer sharp, due mainly to recent damage/erosion (showing pale green). Extensive recent linear grazing, particularly on one face (showing pale green). Otherwise the patina is dark brown/green, with microscopic crazing suggesting that corrosion is active below the surface. Slight edge bevels faintly visible on both faces. The notches between the tang and the barbs are facetted from one face only, and may be cast rather than created as a secondary process. If this is the case, the object must have been manufa…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete, well made and patinated flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. One barb is now missing due to an old break. This arrowhead has unpatinated retouch along the incomplete edge. As barbed and tanged arrowheads date from the early Bronze Age the retouch was presumably done somewhat later in the Bronze Age.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Tip of copper-alloy socketed spearhead or arrowhead, with rounded midrib. The socket extends to about 35 mm from the tip. The blade edges are mostly damaged and worn, and the main break is patinated and fairly worn. There are recent (agricultural?) scrapes to the midrib on both faces. It is patinated medium green, with some paler green patches of corrosive products. One wing appears to be relatively complete; the side is only slightly convex, but there is a convex basal end. This side is only 66 mm long from the tip to where it joins the socket, although this must be an approx…
