A tertiary flint core, Clark (1960) probably a Type C or E, having at least three striking platforms (deduced from the direction of the ripple marks), with flakes removed all of the way around the core from multiple directions. The removal of blades seems to be most likely, at least for that last utilage of this core. Diffuse ripple marks indicative of soft hammer production. While the direction of ripple marks indicates the direction of strike, as the core has been worked from a number of directions no flat platform remains. Scars from the removal of three blade proportione…

A tertiary flint flake or probably a broken blade with transverse break at 90 degrees between ventral and dorsal faces. Probably utilised. Bulb of percussion present. Fissures more noticeable on dorsal face. Diffuse to more noticeable ripple marks probably indicating just soft hammer production (possibly some hard hammer use too - recorder uncertain).

A tertiary flint pebble flake within which is a large impurity at the proximal end and seen in both ventral and dorsal faces. This is present in the bulb of percussion where it has a chert like texture. Consideration has been given to the suggestion that this might be a reworked adze. If not, and it seems more probable that, this is a core rejuvenation flake tool indicating two attempts to remove the larger impurity. Almost all surfaces over this piece of flint are re-patinated with the exception of a very small percentage of surface area where this has been removed by later …

A primary flint core, Clark (1960) Type B1, having two parallel striking platforms, with flakes removed only part of the way around the core. One of the two striking platforms seems to have suffered later damage rather than having the appearance of an intentionally worked surface, direction of flaking indicates evidence of only c. 3 blades removed from that end. Some impurities present in the flint and this might explain some of the smaller blade shaped removals from the smoother platform used last in the core's function for providing blades.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Probably an axehead, or possibly an adze, of Mesolithic date. This prehistoric tool has been knapped (struck) out of flint. Most of the artefact survives though there is some damage particularly at the cutting edge which removed some of the diagnostic area that might have helped determine more conclusively between axehead and adze. In its current condition the object weighs 167.98g. It has maximum dimensions of: length of 141.9mm, width 38.4mm and thickness 28.7mm. Mostly a medium to dark deep toffee colour with lesser patches of beige, pale brown/dark cream colour.

An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. This arrowhead was a tertiary flint object but has since completely recorticated. The only area where recortication is not present is at the tips of the barbs which have broken off. The artefact is bifacially worked, the retouch covering one side and being invasive - almost covering - on the other side. On the invasive side just a narrow (2.0mm) length (18.1mm) does not show retouch, the initial longitudinal working of the flint visible through the surrounding retouch.

A single piece of secondary flint debitage of unknown date, probably late Neolithic to Bronze Age. A striking platform and point of percussion are visibly present on this flake. The pronounced bulb of percussion and well defined conchoidal ripple marks indicate hard hammer production.

Flaked flint axehead, bifacially worked to produce an asymmetric sub-lozenge shaped cross-section. Significant amounts of recortication has occurred on this secondary peiece of flint, cortex remaining over the majority of the butt end. The presence of one small cavity is visible on the surface. This oval cavity measures 3.2mm x 2.4mm. Some battering on edges and on cutting edge. While this object could be a 'preform' which was intended to be polished the less perscriptive term 'Flaked Axe' is prefered. Probably Neolithic. Weight 191.44g, Length 106.6mm, Width 51.8mm, Thickness 29.6mm.

The opposite side has evidence of a shallow bulb or percussion and very shallow S-shaped profile indicative of soft hammer working. All surfaces are heavily recorticated except for the areas of retouch suggesting that these are evidence of more recent reworking.

A primary flint, very late and very crudely made, scraper. A large inclusion occupies approximately half of the inner surface of the flint, which seems to have two hinge fractures along two edges. The most obvious of these has an abrupt near vertical angle although this may account for later damage. The other possible hinge fracture, if it is such, is much more subtle running along the edge of the flint. However this may just be how the flint has fractured at a shallow, very low angle between the flint and cortex. The opposite edge has short scaled abrupt retouch. Possibly a reutilise…

A fragment of stone, which has divided specialist opinion. It is not possible to confirm that this piece of stone is definitely an artefact and at least one specialist considers it to be a water smoothed pebble of igneous stone, possible glacial erratic pebble from boulder clay deposits, that has a plough struck spall removed from one side. Other specialists feel that this could possibly have been an axehead, probably dating to 2000-1500BC. Alternatively speculation as to whether it is a Palaeolithic handaxe has been muted. Both suggestions agree that it is not possible to determine t…

A utilised big flint waste flake, possibly from core preparation. The flake has two retouched edges. One of these edges has a fine steep retouched scraping edge. The opposing edge also has steep retouching and one possible working burin type point. Date uncertain but the messy working might suggest a Bronze age date. Weight is 30.92g, dimensions: 48.29mm x 49.42mm c.13.13mm.

An angular flint waste flake chunk produced from core reduction. This flake has a point of percussion and bulb of percussion, on the edge opposite these features a transverse hinge fracture is present giving the flake its sub-square appearance. One edge shows opportunistic edge working in the form of a finely nibbled edge which suggests that this flake was probably used as a scraper. Date is uncertain but possibly Bronze age. Weight is 9.87g, dimensions: 31.90mm x 28.57mm x 10.11mm.
