NHER 24540 (Find Spot record) - Late Upper Palaeolithic flint blade core and Neolithic worked flints

1988 or before. Stray Find.
Originally reported as being from TF 8065 0633, in Swaffham.
Very large flint core found on field by farmer. This discovery was reported in (S1). Photographed (S2).

Other flints have apparently also been found on this site.

Flint core seen by J. J. Wymer (NAU):
Very large partly prepared blade core with cresting along whole edge no platform for striking.
Only other core of this nature and size in East Anglia, if not in Britain, is near identical core from Felsham, Suffolk now in Bury St Edmunds Museum. Can be paralleled by late Magdalenian examples from France, see Etoilles, Essonne, hence probable late Upper Palaeolithic date. See (S3).

30 September 1988. Fieldwalking.
Area examined by J. J. Wymer (NAU) but only Neolithic flint scatter found.
E. Rose (NAU) 3 June 1988 and J. J. Wymer (NAU) 26 August 1988 and 16 February 1989.
