Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped flint arrowhead dating to the Early Neolithic, c. 4000-3000 BC. This is a leaf-shaped example, being broadly lenticular in plan with a widened butt and tapering sides that converge to form a sharp point. Manufactured on a tertiary flake of dark brownish black flint, the arrowhead demonstrates invasive retouch (pressure flaking) on both faces-though this has not removed all of the original flaked surface. Preserved in fresh condition, it measures 31.4mm in length, 14.83mm wide at its widest point, 2.66mm thick at its midpoint and weighs 1.74g.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped flint arrowhead probably dating to the early Neolithic period, c. 4000-3000 BC. This appears to be the base of a leaf-shaped arrowhead, demonstrating a rounded butt and tapering sides that extend to slightly above the midpoint of the original full object, its upper midsection and tip missing in a neat truncation. Knapped from a tertiary flake of fine-grained translucent blackish grey flint, the original flake surfaces on each side have been completely removed by the means of invasive covering retouch (pressure flaking). Preserved in fresh condition it survives to…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped flint end scraper of probable Late Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age date, c. 3000-1500 BC. Manufactured on a tertiary flake of translucent brownish fine-grained flint with only a small patch of cortex on its dorsal surface, the support has had its proximal end intentionally removed. The scraper is effectively horseshoe shaped, a single dorsal arrise visible and secondary working (in the form of directly applied parallel long removals) creating a convex working edge at the distal end of the piece. Preserved in fresh condition it measures 38.59mm in length down its axis…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary flint flake of probable later Mesolithic or Neolithic date, c. 6000-2500 BC. Struck from a core of fine grained bluey-grey flint, this piece is blade-like in appearance and likely represents a correction piece originating from a blade core. Triangular in plan, it demonstrates slightly tapering sides that converge to a rounded point, the butt being pointed and the platform of lenticular form. Two dorsal arrises are visible, while on the ventral face the bulb of percussion is visible. The bulb itself is somewhat diffused and flattened, suggesting that this piece may have been…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped flint lithic implement (possibly a crude knife) dating to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age, c. 3000-1150 BC. The tool appears to have been manufactured on a broadly triangular core rejuvenation flake, the dorsal face highly 'humped' and demonstrating numerous intersecting blade/flake negatives. The ventral face has been worked inversely, with large invasive removals (perhaps soft hammer) creating a rather crude edge. A notch is visible in the opposing edge, though whether this is a knapped feature or simply edge damage remains unclear. Preserved in somewhat patinate…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped and polished flint axehead dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-2500 BC. The butt and midsection are missing in an oblique patinated break, with only the lower body and cutting edge preserved extant. Deep negative flaking on both sides of the axe close to this break suggests this may have resulted from use. Demonstrating a rectangular section and slightly expanding flat sides, the axe has been manufactured on a piece of greyish flint which has now in places patinated to an off-white mottled with blue. Considerable iron staining on both faces marks the location…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete polished flint axehead dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-2500 BC. It survives relatively intact despite some damage to the cutting edge and extensive breakage to the butt, the latter possibly relating to hafting and subsequent use. In form, it demonstrates characteristic gently expanding sides with a broadly lenticular section, that transition into a convex cutting edge. Manufactured on a fine-grained piece of mottled light greyish flint, the surfaces of the axe are completely smooth and polished-with all removal scars and primary reduction negatives obliterated. L…
