Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic axe of patinated pale buff mottled flint with spotty iron staining to most of the high points of the flake scars. Mostly complete with old differentially patinated damage to the sides of the cutting edge and one lateral edge. The axe has been partly ground although not to any great degree. Only the very peaks have been smoothed off towards the cutting edge and the mid-ridge. 131 x 56.5 x 26mm

Record ID: NMS-5BFD70
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Upper Palaeolithic long blade which appears to be struck with a soft hammer from a single platform core. Flake directions are difficult to observe as the piece is heavily patinated white with some small areas of spotty iron staining. The proximal end is missing, broken recently and revealing unpatinated black flint. One lateral edge has been steeply retouched along its length at a later date, perhaps during the Neolithic or Bronze Age and has a light grey patination. Such re-use is uncommon, but not unknown. It shows that this piece had been lost or discarded and found several th…

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic broken part-polished axe of unpatinated mottled grey flint with some small areas of spotty iron staining, approximately half survives. The butt was broken off in antiquity by a transverse bending fracture which has plunged over on to one face removing a large flake. Reconstructed length around 180mm. 92 x 70 x 32mm.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age basal fragment of a bifacially worked sickle blade of plano-convex section. The pointed tip is recently broken transversely revealing unpatinated black flint. The extant part is patinated white with spotty iron staining with one small patch of weathered cortex on the dorsal face. Both faces are entirely covered with direct soft hammer percussion flakes overlain with invasive pressure flake scars. Cf. a similar sickle blade from Barton Bendish (NHER 13548). 75 x 28.5 x 8mm. c.3000 - c.1500.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
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.
