Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete Neolithic polished axe knapped from an orange-brown stone. The axe has been polished over the entire surface, however the grinding was not deep enough to remove all of the flaking scars. The butt end has been left partically flaked, and it is slightly damaged. The cutting edge has been broken, and the edge reknapped and polished to form a new cutting edge - This end of the axe has not been as well polished as the rest of the surface. The two narrow sides have been ground further to create a slightly flattened edge, giving the axe a double convex cross section, with flattened…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete worked flint flake. This flake is subtriangular in plan, with the proximal end forming the flatter base of the triangle. There is a clear bulb of percussion and signs of flaking on the ventral face. On the right edge of the dorsal face, towards the point, are clear signs of retouch. It is possible that this is an abandoned attempt at making an arrowhead. Unfortunately work has halted before signs of wheter it would have been a leaf shaped Neolithic arrow head or a barbed and tanged Early Bronze Age arrow head. The flint is an even mid grey. The flake is 37.18mm long, 20.02mm w…
