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 …

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Small, partially polished, pale grey flint axehead. The polish is mainly limited to the blade edge and one long edge. Lack of polish on the other long edge suggests that the axeheadis part of a largr original axe that has been re-knapped. The convex blade edge is slightly S-shaped in cross-section. One slight metallic scrape near the blade edge is the only definite sign of recent damage. Length 98 mm, maximum width 42 mm, blade width 23 mm, maximum thickness 25 mm.

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: PROJECTILE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
This bi-facially worked piece is clearly incomplete and may have been an elongated oval or a leaf shape. The radial flaking is invasive but rather coarse and irregular, suggesting either poor knapping techniques or an unfinished task. If unfinished, it may be an arrowhead (or projectile head), or laurel leaf, which would be of earlier Neolithic date.

Object type: SADDLE QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Made from a coarse grained quartzite erratic with some possible shaping (or accidental damage) around the perimeter. The irregular oval working surface (280 x 200 mm) is dished to a depth of c. 35 mm and is pitted near its centre. Overall dimensions approximately 345 x 220 x 120 mm. Saddle querns were been in use in Britain from the late Neolithic into the Iron Age, being then replaced by rotary querns in many areas, but may have persisted in some places later.
