Description: | Neolithic polished ground stone axe, incomplete. Coarse grained igneous rock, probably diorite or a coarse grained dolorite, neither of which are found locally, so this must have been imported into the area. Both the butt and blade end are broken. The butt end, broken at an angle, may have been deliberately broken in antiquity, possibly for re-use as another tool. The blade end break is more uneven, and probably due to plough damage. Length 126.1mm, width 76m, thickness 41mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
