Record ID: SF-C786D4
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An unpatinated struck flint implement of uncertain form, possibly an ovate or a roughout for an axe or similar implement. It is struck from a mottled pale grey flint and is of crude handaxe form with pointed oval cross-section, tapering in profile at both ends. The object has very crude bifacial working, although some of the flakes, particularly at each end, may well be the result of damage rather than deliberate striking of the flint. It measures 114.88mm in length, 66.28mm in width, 27.19mm in thickness, and 165.80g in weight. This is a flint object of uncertain function. It is p…

A small flint object, possibly a small leaf-shaped arrowhead struck on a blade. It has a mottled brown flint, with parallel blade scars on the dorsal face and limited edge retouch. The entire object measures 28.90mm in length, 14.30mm in width, 3.94mm in thickness and 1.78g in weight. This is a possible leaf-shaped arrowhead struck on a small blade. If this is indeed the case then it is likely to be of Neolithic date (c.4000-2550 BC), however is it is simply a retouched blade then an earlier Mesolithic date cannot be ruled out entirely. Dr Kevin Leahy writes: while this object has …

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An unpatinated and incomplete leaf-shaped lithic implement of Neolithic date. At least half of the object, including the point, is missing due to old breaks. It is struck from a grey flint that has a hinge fracture at one end, all-over bifacial retouch with flake removal and edge retouch on both faces. It measures 49.57mm in length, 24.49mm in width, 5.53mm in thickness, and weighs 6.51g. This is probably a flint 'Laurel-Leaf' point typical of the Early Neolithic period. Lithics of this form have an unknown function but are sometimes suggested as roughouts for leaf-shaped arrowheads…

Record ID: SF-89E657
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A patinated bifacially worked flint implement struck from a brown flint that has mottled pale grey to brown patinated surfaces. It is roughly oval shaped in form with rounded ends and an oval shaped section that is slightly thicker on one side of the object than the other. One face has extensive flake removal while the opposite face largely retains its cortex with areas of flaking around the edges. The edges are slightly rounded, with limited retouch or flaking, one side almost having an S-shaped profile and both being of differing form. The object narrows to one end that is slightly …

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Two Neolithic worked flints. 1: A complete sub-triangular 'Tranchet derivative' type arrowhead with a squared base. Retouch limited to the four edges on the dorsal face and to the two long edges on the ventral face. The flint is deep brown in colour. 2: A long flake with relatively crude, in part bifacial retouch. It is hinge fractured and deep brown in colour.

Record ID: SF-217F05
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A small flint microlithic point/arrow tip of sub-triangular form. Retouch is limited to the edges, it is bifacial along the whole length of one long edge but limited mainly to near the tip on one face, and only on the long edge of the other. The flint is light to medium grey in colour. This probable arrow tip is most likely to be later Mesolithic in date.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A long and narrow fragment probably from the side of a Neolithic polished axehead. Measuring 67mm in length, 5mm in width and 15mm in thickness, it is roughly semi-circular in cross-section and faceted with one flat face and four others forming the arched part of the semi-circular cross-section. It has two longitudinal fractures. The remainder shows three faces which are all-over polished. This is similar to all-over polished axe heads with polished sides. It is banded dark to pale grey.

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A heavily stained medium brown abraded worked flint blade. Measuring 88mm in length and 23mm in width this blade has extensive recent damage exposing a plae grey flint beneath the patina. It is most likely to have been either water abraded or a glacial erratic. It is Palaeolithic in date.

A worked flint implement. A smallish flake with six flake scars on the dorsal face. Possibly with retouch along one edge, though this could be damage. It is stained and rolled, presumably glacially derived and of lower Palaeolithic date.

Record ID: SF-08AB93
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Thin biface, slightly rolled. Slightly asymmetric with one side relatively thick and blunt, suggesting knife type implement rather than laurel leaf. Good quality all-over shallow flaking. Some patination and staining. This is difficult to date because of its rolled condition. This and its colouring gives it a Palaeolithic appearance though it could equally well be of Neolithic or Bronze Age date.
