Record ID: SUSS-B1B8CE
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a, cast copper alloy, ring, possibly a bracelet or armlet of Bronze Age date, 2000-900 BC. The fragment is part of a circumferal ring. The breaks in the ring are old, being quite worn and corroded. In cross section the ring is a pointed oval. There is no surface decoration on the piece. The surface is patinated red/green. As the object is incomplete it is difficult to be certain on its date or function, the innumerable uses for rings of all sizes makes them difficult to classify.

The proximal end of the flake has been truncated and worked on both faces to remove the bulb of percussion and also to create a chamferred edge. The long edges of the object have been retouched with short, scaled, abrupt retouch to create a tool edge. The flint is a, transluscent, dark brown in colour.

Record ID: SUSS-AC7508
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A neolithic, flint, thumb scraper, 4500-2500BC. The object is a tertiary flake, with no remaining cortex, it probably represents the distal end of a long blade that has been snapped and used to form the scraper. Along one edge there is short, abrupt, scaled retouch. The other edge has an abrupt edge and the proximal end has a sharp right angled termination from the break. It is possible that this is the broken end of a sickle blade.
