Record ID: SF-F5ABF1
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped and polished flint axehead dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-2500 BC. The butt and midsection are missing in an oblique patinated break, with only the lower body and cutting edge preserved extant. Deep negative flaking on both sides of the axe close to this break suggests this may have resulted from use. Demonstrating a rectangular section and slightly expanding flat sides, the axe has been manufactured on a piece of greyish flint which has now in places patinated to an off-white mottled with blue. Considerable iron staining on both faces marks the location…

Record ID: DEV-F48695
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake, probably an unfinished oblique arrowhead, probably dating to the Late Neolithic, c. 3,300-2,400BC. A tertiary sub-triangular flake of translucent beige-brown flint, with the proximal and distal ends worked away. Two edges of the flake exhibit retouch. On the dorsal face it is present along the right lateral edge, where it is low angle, scalar and invasive. On the ventral face it is prsent on the proximal and right edges, again invasive and scaler, but more semi-abrupt at the proximal end.
Dimensions: length 25.0mm; width 18.0mm; thickness 4.9mm; weight 2.19…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake, probably of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, c. 3,300-1,600BC, possibly an unfinished or discarded projectile point. A tertiary sub-triangular flake of mottled grey flint, worked bifacially and with short, low angle, scalar retouch along both sides on one edge, this being the right edge of the dorsal face.
Dimensions: length 22.7mm; width 21.9mm; thickness 4.8mm; weight 2.22g.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Seven flint scrapers of probable Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, c. 4000-1,600 BC.
1. Incomplete secondary flake of slightly translucent brown flint with a small area of cortex surviving at the remaining distal end. Damage has resulted in the loss of both the proximal and distal ends, but with the suggestion of a large bulb of percussion on the ventral face. The left mesal edge of the dorsal face exhibits invasive, low angle, scalar retouch. length 35.9mm; width 40.4mm; thickness 6.7mm; weight 9.17g.
2. Secondary flake of opaque brown flint with cortex remaining on the left …
