Full description
Pre 1921. Stray Find.
A prehistoric flint from Buckenham Tofts (Stanford), described as a "rechipped palaeolithic flake", was exhibited at a meeting of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia by H. H. Halls in February 1921 (S1). Information from (S2).
This object is listed in (S3) and also noted on (S4) and in (S5), although in all cases this is only a reference to (S1). As this object has not been available for examination since it was first reported its nature remains uncertain.
Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 26 April 2013.
