A complete Neolithic finely worked polished stone axehead. It is an elongated sub-triangular shape and oval in cross-section, with straight slightly outwards curving sides, a narrow, rounded butt and a blade end that curves outwards only very slightly. It is composed of a coarse-grained basic intrusive rock that has probably undergone metamorphism, speckled white and blue-grey in colour. There is a patch of orange-brown straining on one face. It survives in good condition with only a small amount of damage to the butt end. Dr Emily Banfield (pers. com.) kindly comments …

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic flint axehead, probably a roughout for polishing, dating to circa 4000-1600 BC. It is broadly elongated oval in plan and oval in section. It is bifacially flaked on a nodule of opaque, beige coloured flint. The flaking is multi-directional and invasive. The cutting edge is rounded with longitudinal flaking. The butt is rounded and narrower than the cutting edge.  The axehead would have been intended to have a polished finish whereupon it would have been hafted.

A complete flint 'laurel leaf' knife of early Neolithic date. It is ovoid in shape with a flattened, pointed-oval cross-section, but is slightly asymmetrical in shape. The flint is a mottled mid- to light grey-brown with limited surface patination and some very limited orange staining in places. Covering, low angle retouch on both faces, which appears to have been struck with a soft hammer, removing all traces of the original blank flake.  'Laurel leaves' appear to have been used as knives, perhaps with the addition of a wooden handle, as their asymmetrical f…
