Description: | A complete partly polished flint axehead of Neolithic date. It is of regular, quadrilateral form with fairly straight cutting edge, with one very slight chip, and sides narrowing to slight butt. There is polish with relatively deep abrasion grooves limited mainly to the cutting edge and partly to the sides. The central portion of the axe has notable areas of gloss wihtin the flake scars. this is possibly the residues of adhesive used to fix the axe to a handle, if this is the case this is a rare occurrance on axeheads. The surface is a varied medium brown in colour and there is a recent linear mark near the blade probably caused by the plough. It is 133mm in length, 42mm in width across the cutting edge, 21mm in thickness and 122g in weight. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
