Lower end of a silver strapend. Leaf-shaped with a damaged lower edge, the front is divided into three fields containing Trewhiddle Style animal ornament. There is a hole in the centre of the strapend, from which a crack towards the broken edge emanates. The back of the strapend is plain except from some light scratches.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from the butt end of a part-polished flint axehead. The axe has a medium to dark grey flint, with a number of rust marks on the surfaces suggesting damage by the plough. It has a thick, oval shaped cross section with polishing restricted to the sides and higher portions of the axe only. The end of the butt is missing due to old breaks, perhaps also caused by a plough. The main break also shows evidence for a number of smaller flakes being removed, possibly this was deliberate and the object was re-used as a core, or perhaps this is also the result of plough damage. The axehe…
