Record ID: NMS-249EFC
Object type: QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Saddle quern made from fine-grained hard stone with few visible inclusions, likely to be a glacial erratic. It has an evenly rounded base and wide, gently sloped-out or bevelled edges around an oval hollow or concave area in the centre measuring 200 x 280mm. No part of the wide edge survives complete; there is much relatively recent damage, with conchoidal fractures. The maximum surviving width of the sloping edge, at one end, is about 90mm, and the whole of the edge at the other end has broken away. The maximum depth of the concave hollow is c. 27mm in the centre, and it gently …

Record ID: SF9076
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Long narrow sub-triangular part-polished flint axehead. It is polished all over except for the larger flake scars along the edges. The blade is 41 mm wide and the axe then tapers, with straight sides, to a very narrow butt just 8 mm wide. The axe is complete, apart from two largish (recent?) chips to the blade and one from each edge; there are also two linear scrapes, both brown so perhaps from corroded iron, on one face. The flint is a blotchy pale/medium grey, appearing to be more pale brown where chipped.

Record ID: SF8848
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Complete but very small flaked flint axehead, with slight polishing. The sides are convex, the butt is rounded and the cross-section is lenticular. The polishing is restricted to the higher areas of each face (very restricted on one face) and the edge of one side only - none is present on the oppsite side or the curved cutting edge at the wider end. The lack of polish on the cutting edge and one side, together with the small size, suggest that the axe may have been cut down from a larger axe, though as the existing polish is close to the unpolished edges there should only have been …

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Perforated pebble-hammer. Irregularly oval or sub-triangular in shape, relatively flat and small, with a drilled central perforation. Each edge is convex; there are two chips off the straightest and longest edge, but otherwise the object is complete. The stone is fine-grained with a smooth hard surface, and pale/medium brown. The perforation is relatively straight, and this suggests a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date rather than Mesolithic. The function as a 'pebble-hammer' seems at first sight unlikely, in view of the small size and thinness, and the narrowness of its 10 mm dia…
