Record ID: NMS-AEC217
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two semi-hard hammer struck flakes, the longer of the two is in unpatinated dark grey flint and is shallowly notched to one lateral edge at the midpoint (51 x 17 x 8.5 mm). The other is of mottled brown and grey slightly patinated flint, also semi-hard hammer struck from an opposed, or multi-platform core with previous flake removals in opposition to each other, both ends of the flake retain platforms. Possible fine use-wear as well as recent damage to the lateral edge with the thinnest angle (43.5 x 21 x 7 mm). Both pieces are Late Prehistoric: Neolithic to Bronze Age.

Record ID: NMS-AE6265
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Almost complete leaf-shaped arrowhead of Green's (1980) type 3A, closely matching the outline of example h. It was of dark brown flint (as seen in the small recently damaged areas of the edges and, more so, to the butt), now patinated mottled light grey and white. Both faces are invasively pressure flaked with the dorsal face being the most successful with over lapping flake scars covering the surface of the arrowhead, the ventral face has a "blank" area at the centre where the flakes have stopped short and hinged, a common knapping error arising from using a struck flake as a startin…

Record ID: BERK-A6C795
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead c. 4000 -2350 BC. The lithic has invasive flaking scars over both dorsal and ventral surface with low-angled, bifacial retouch along the edges. The arrowhead has a rounded proximal end and a slightly 'blunted' point to the distal end. The material is of a pale cream flint with numerous tiny, lighter inclusions.

Record ID: BERK-A6B6FA
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint scraper, probably from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze age c. 3300 - 2000 BC. The lithic has a 'D' shaped, cross section and is a broadly, a rounded triangle in plan. The ventral surface has a distinct bulb of percussion beneath the striking platform, to the proximal end. The dorsal surface has significant negative scaring and subsequent arrises. One worked edge has a semi denticulate retouch with the opposite edge being smoother in form. There is an element of bifacial retouch to one quarter. The flint has a deep grey/brown colour with several lighter inclusions over…
