Full Description
According to (S1) the Norwich Castle Museum holds a number of Mesolithic flints from Brundall. These are listed as comprising 1 microlith and 3 flakes/blades.
There appears to have been no record of any Mesolithic finds in Brundall prior to the publication of (S1) and it is therefore uncertain where these objects were found. It is also unclear which museum collection they were identified in, although the most likely candidate is a small assemblage of "9 Mesolithic worked flints" that was accesioned in 1968 (NWHCM : 1968.816). No information is recorded on who found or donated this assemblage. The flints were examined by R. Jacobi and are listed in (S2) as comprising 1 microburin, 1 obliquely truncated bladelet, 4 blades and 3 flakes. It is noted that the blades and flakes are potentially Neolithic.
The circumstances of discovery of these finds are not recorded and the finder is also not listed. A six-figure grid reference is however recorded (TG 318 085), which is the same as the estimated grid reference given for the finds from Brundall listed in (S1).
