Description: | Prehistoric/ Upper Paleolithic Blade (Length 56mm) with triangular section, broken at the proximal end and with a hinged termination. Proximal end shows traces of platform preparation. Unpatinated mottled grey flint. Blade is from a single platform core, and carries a trace of thin grey cortex on the right distal edge. Find site is on Roydon Further Fen, near the present course of the River Waveney and also near its source. Since the Rivers Waveney and Little Ouse have yielded a number of Late Upper Palaeolithic Long Blade sites it is possible that this is another site of a similar period (i.e. c.10,000 BC) and would repay further searching.
