Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic polished flint axehead. Lenticular in section, polished overall but with a few flake scars still visible. Cutting edge curved and sharp, sides tapering towards narrow, straight butt. There is relatively fresh damage in the form of a large natural flake at the cutting edge on one face, and a small flake at the butt end revealing pale yellow-brown flint. The surface of the flint is patinated pale grey with few iron stains. Length 203mm, width 76mm, thickness 55mm. Weight 968g. Similar to NHER 56013 and also PAS (NMS-4C43C4). 3000-2351 BC.

Neolithic flint axe head with a rounded butt, expanding slightly to an ancient break. The cutting edge is completely missing. Almost lozengiform in section. Patinated white on one face and white and dark brown on the other. Polished over all. There has been an unsuccesful attempt to re-sahape the cutting edge after breakage. The flint is poor quality with multiple flaws. Surviving length 160mm. Maximum surviving width 79mm. Maximum thickness 54mm.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
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).

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)

Barbed and tanged arrowhead. Sutton type, with pointed barbs and rounded tang, the point is intact.

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late palaeolithic double-ended scraper. Segment of a large blade with a single crest in a chocolate brown stained flint. Both ends appear to have been steeply retouched to give a double ended scraper but both have suffered ancient damage. The distal edge has small neat retouch scars at both ends but the central part of the edge has two larger scars with evidence of crushing on the ventral side. The proximal end appears to have been damaged by the loss of a large chip and shows slight evidence of crushing on the ventral edge. The find spot is near one of the head ways of the River Wens…
