Description: | 119 lithic implements recorded individually in detail on excell tables in the Suffolk SMR. In summary there is two possibly three separate assemblages, the earliest seems to be that represented by patinated pieces and mainly blades and including a possible microlith suggesting a mesolithic date. The second major group, and largest group, consists of unpatinated flakes mainly long flakes with parallel flake scars on the dorsal face and mostly retouched these are probably late neolithic/ early bronze age, with the late neolithic more likely. The final group consists of a small amount of crudely worked and irregular flakes often squat, that may be of later bronze age or iron age date. There has been no attempt to look at the geographical distribution of the three groups. It is interesting that a large number of the Mesolithic flints seem to have been reworked in the later phases. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
