Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Large scraper made from an opaque, grey-brown flint with some inclusions. There is a small area of cortex at one end. Both the dorsal and ventral faces show signs of a conchoidal fracture although the scars are weakly defined and may reflect natural fracture. Retouch extends across the upper right hand side of the flint (as shown) and down the right hand side. This is short, scaled and abrupt/semi-abrupt. There is also some limited retouch along the left hand edge. Length 110.8mm, Width 59.1mm, Thickness 29.3mm, Mass 182.36g. The coarseness of the working and the form o…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Flint scraper of late prehistoric date. Fragment of a light grey, opaque flint cobble, cortex surviving in one area. The cobble was broken by natural agencies and was recorticated before being retouched to form two scraping edges; one a deep notch, the other a crude, straight edge. both were made using short, scaled, abrupt retouch. Both the use of a naturally broken flint and the crudity of the retouch point to a late date. 31.6 x 27.3 x 15.6mm, Mass 16.35g

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Published
Middle Bronze Age, c. 1,500-1,150 BC, side looped spearhead, the weapon has suffered some damage, its loops are broken but it appears that its tiny head is substantially intact. It consisted of a central, ogival section flanked by two flukes. With the spearhead are fragments of wood which probably represent part of its shaft preserved by contact with copper. The small head seen on this weapon can be compared to an example from Lakenheath, Suffolk (Evans,1881, 322-323, fig. 395). Evans refers to an example from Cumberland with a still smaller blade but, at 124mm, it was still larger tha…
