Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic tranchet axehead. The main blade flakes are removed transversely and it would originally have been hafted in a wooden handle. The axehead is complete but relatively small, and made of a pale grey/brown flint. It is bifacially worked with a pointed butt and a broad, rounded cutting edge formed by the removal of single transverse flakes. Tranchet axes are in many ways better than the later (Neolithic) flaked and polished axes in that the resharpening is simple and rapid, making it a far more utilitarian tool.

Record ID: SF6869
Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Flint adze, relatively crude, with roughly plano-convex cross-section. Made from poor quality flint (in places cherty) with a blotchy pale and medium brown colour. Cortex survives on the convex face and unknapped flint survives in the centre of the flatter side. The blade edges (either end could function as a blade) are radially flaked and relatively straight. The form of the adze is similar to some Mesolithic tranchet adzes (although it lacks a tranchet edge); though the crudeness may suggest that it is a later (Neolithic) roughout for an axe or adze.

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Snapped microlith with one backed (blunted) edge. The other edge has possible traces of use-wear. Translucent pale brown ('honey-coloured') flint. Microliths are relatively rare and were only used in the Mesolithic.

Record ID: SF9299
Object type: POINT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete bifacially worked flint point. The retouch is confined to the edges of the flake only. Narrow in form, which is quite similar to some Mesolithic microlithic points, thoough the shallow bifacial working suggests that it is more likely to be part of the tip of a Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead. Medium/dark grey flint, end of tip and butt missing. All dimensions incomplete.
