Record ID: PUBLIC-BF1137
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bifacially struck flint tool, probably abandoned before completion. Struck on a lingulate-shaped secondary flint with a strip of cortex remaining down the length of the dorsal face. There are multiple lateral strikes on both faces but only the dorsal face has been struck with removals at the distal end. Several of the lateral strikes on the ventral face have terminated prematurely in hinge and step fractures which in all likelihood made the intended tool unrecoverable. Probably intended to be a knife. Most likely Neolithic in date.  Length 95mm, width 29m…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
End scraper in fresh condition. Semi-hard hammer struck tertiary flake of semi-translucent dark brown flint with a black streak to one side of the distal end. Pronounced bulb of percussion with no bulbal scar, distal end is neatly trimmed to semicircular shape by regular steep, non-invasive retouch in the conventional manner. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC

Record ID: NMS-83DDD4
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age end-scraper, struck on an oval shaped tertiary flake. One facet on the dorsal face has re-patinated and shows evidence of old scuffing damage. The striking platform survives with bulbar scar and bulb of percussion tailing in conchoidal ripples to the distal end of the flint. The rounded distal end has coarse scalar semi-abrupt retouch, as does a small area of one mesal edge, although the more acute form of the latter suggest this was probably done to shape the flint rather than create a working edge. Circa 3000-1500 BC.
