A pointed retouched flint blade, possibly of late Upper Paleolithic date, 84.5mm in length, lanceolate in form and struck from a brown coloured flint. It has a trapezoidal cross section and a slightly curved side profile. There is low angle sub-parallel retouch along the entirety of one long side and along two thirds of the other, on the dorsal surface only, running to the distal tip, which has a triangular cross section and has been retouched around and across its entirety with semi abrupt and low angle retouch, to refine a working point. The distal end of the ventral s…

Object type: DISCOIDAL KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible discoidal knife, of off-white patinated flint, made from a “potlid” or natural thermal fracture with thin, weathered sandy coloured cortex to the dorsal face, the ventral face is a typical thermal fracture. Potlid fractures like this with what appears to be retouch to the thin edges are usually dismissed as being not man-made, however in this instance the more curved edge of the two appears to have had a succession of bifacial flakes driven from it, in one spot the flakes pass through a fossil inclusion, in contrast, the straighter of the two ed…

A flint scraper formed on a large blade of opaque black flint of uncertain date, 9000 BC - 1000 BC or perhaps, a blank for producing Post Medieval gun flints dating from AD 1600 - 1900. It is a tertiary hard hammer blade with a double dorsal ridge. All four edges are retouched with short, abrupt, scaled removals forming a rectangular scraper. Measurements are; length 61.7mm, width 41.1mm, thickness 10.7mm and weight 33.46g. The form is similar to Post Medieval gunflints, but much larger. It could be a blank ready to be snapped into smaller pieces to make several gunflints. Compare&nbs…

Flint possible scraper. A small chunk with a flat flake struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect may follow a curving edge, though if so, it has been battered. A dense patina overall suggests the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported, perhaps with marl or building materials. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 27.5mm, Width: 33.2mm, Thickness: 12.3mm, Weight: 10.99gms

Black flint debitage fragment. A small irregular chunk with parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side. A dense white patina has accumulated across all surfaces, removed by later damage to expose the underlying tint of the flint. The patina may suggest the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported.

Pale grey and patinated flint possible debitage. Six irregular flakes [of lengths 44.3mm-19.3mm] with scars from the trimming of flakes from their dorsal sides, and the largest – which is also lightly heat-damaged - with angled scalar retouch across the bulb on its ventral surface. Three other flakes including the smallest fragment have bulbar ventral surfaces. Where a creamy patina has developed across the struck surfaces the objects may have been imported from an area where they had endured exposure to a calcareous environment; the find-spot is not on chalk.

Pale grey flint with cortex, cobble. A fragment of a nodule trimmed to rectangular form by hard hammer strike. This would be apt to use in building or road-mending, which were possibly agencies contributing to the importation of the wealth of patinated flint reported from the vicinity. The struck surfaces are misted but not as highly patinated as much of that material.

Opaque mid grey flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, possible debitage. A thick triangular chunk with a powdery possibly marine-derived deposit on one dorsal face interrupted either by short scalar retouch at its end or by battering at that site.

Flint debitage. Six tiny [of lengths between 24.5mm to 9.4mm] flakes with scars from the removal of narrow or parallel flakes from their dorsal sides, and with flat or bulbar ventral surfaces. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the objects have subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest their incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Combined Weight: 5.54gms
