NHER 6409 (Find Spot record) - Multi-period finds

1975. Stray Find.
Found by R. Jacobi:
Mesolithic/Neolithic flints scattered over large area. Reported by finder but not seen.
Information from (S1).
According to a note subsequently added to (S1) the finds recovered at this time also included:
1 Late Saxon pottery sherd (Thetford ware).
1 medieval pottery sherd (Early Medieval).
These are recorded as having been donated to the Norwich Castle Museum in December 1981, although they do not appear to be amongst the accessioned finds from Runton. The museum does however hold a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead and an undatable prehistoric flint scraper that are listed as having been found here in 1975 (NWHCM : 2001.250). It is perhaps more likely that the arrowhead is the one found in 1981 (see below).
