Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Barbed and tanged arrowhead. Sutton type, with pointed barbs and rounded tang, the point is intact. Large area on each face of original flake from which it was formed, both lateral edges flaked bifacially. Thickness 4mm. Probably a hunting loss as this is an arrowhead intended for use. Early Bronze Age.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age very unusual and simple arrowhead, with tang but no barbs, apparently made on a fortuitously shaped flake fragment which only required bilateral and bifacial retouch at one end to form a sharp point. Unpatinated. Probably Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, when barbed and tanged arrowheads were in use.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic unpatinated black flake, appears to be a possible sub-triangular arrowhead with transverse bending fractures to both the distal and proximal ends, this is usual damage for an arrow that has hit a hard surface. It is manufactured quickly from a flat secondary flake with a small patch of weathered cortex on the dorsal face towards the distal end and is only slightly retouched in places to correct the curvature and improve symmetry. 26 x 18 x 3 mm. Finder's no. 1.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Leaf Arrowhead (incomplete) Dimensions 36 x 25 x 4.6mm. A broad based, thin leaf arrowhead, recently snapped transversely with loss of the point. Finished overall on both faces by peripheral shallow pressure flaking, with complete removal of the surface of the blank. Both faces show signs of incipient patination, which has not affected the break surface. Leaf Arrowheads are a defining artefact of the Neolithic (especially the Early Neolithic Period, 4000-3000BC).

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Polished axe in dark grey mottled glossy flint with negligible patination. Polished extensively on one face from the broad blade up the central area to the square butt and with one lateral edge rounded slightly along its whole length, the other only toward the butt. The opposed face is only polished at the extreme edge of the cutting edge and is otherwise neatly finished by shallow re-touch flaking. The elegant shape suggests that this is a flint copy of an Early Bronze Age flat axe, and the shallow invasive flaking is also typical of this transitional period. Almost certainly Late Ne…

Polished Axe, dimensions: 169 x 61 x 34mm. Highly ground and polished all over, with only a few faint flake scars visible at the lateral edges and rounded butt: the sides are ground round rather than flat. The curved cutting edge is sharp with only one ancient chip, while a recent small chip reveals pale grey flint. The axe is patinated light brown with some buff areas. Found in the 1960's and subsequently used as a paperweight. Neolithic (4,000 to 2,350BC)
