Object type: DISCOIDAL KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Flint discoidal knife, semi-circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in section, with a polished curved back to the blade, which is also slightly convex. The knife has been bifacially reworked and the blade edge retouched and then polished along with the back which may have been for hafting or hand-held. It was no doubt polished for decorative reasons as well as practical ones. The flint is an orangey-brown colour and was probably derived from a locally mined flint nodule. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example of a discoidal knife with a p…

Record ID: SF-03BCD0
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A simple patinated leaf-shaped flint arrowhead. Possibly retouched and re-utilised as a notched tool. This leaf arrowhead consists of a pale/medium grey patinated flint with basic retouch confined to the flake edges on both faces. On one face there is a quite large concave unpatinated notch showing the original honey-brown coloured flint. This notch appears to be deliberate re-utilisation/retouch. This arrowhead is dated to the Neolithic period and may have been reused in the Bronze Age.

Record ID: SF-30EEF1
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete, but somewhat rolled/abraded, flaked flint axehead. In form the axehead expands from a narrow butt to a broad rounded cutting edge. Measuring 170mm in length, 61mm in width and 40mm thick. The axehead is so abraded that the sharp edges to all the flake scars have been lost, the cutting edge is also blunt. The flint is a mottled, pale grey in colour and has one smallish area of cortex on one edge. A few small sub-circular fossiliserous voids are visible on the surface. The axehead is well made with all-over even flaking. There is no obvious polishing, although the abrasion m…

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete Neolithic polished and chipped flint axehead. This axe is sub-rectangular in plan with a curved end and sub oval in section. It has a surviving length of 880mm, a width of 510mm, is 26.04mm thick and weighs 127.41g.It has been snapped at its hafted end, either deliberately or by accident. Both faces of the axe are polished smooth. There are two significant chips in the axe to either side of the broken point, and one chip on one surface of the axe, again originating from the broken end. The cutting edge of the axe also has a number of small chips. It is impossible to tell wh…

Object type: DAGGER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Flint dagger, lozenge-shaped in plan and section, tapering towards a point at the distal end and a squared-off butt at the proximal end. The dagger is bifacially reworked and retouched using pressure flaking on all margins. The flint is a translucent grey-brown colour and was likely derived from a locally mined flint nodule. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar, but less symmetrical, example from Norfolk on page 60, Fig.5.35, and another on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.28, which dates from the Beaker period. Smith (1919) illustrates similar ex…
