Description: | A Neolithic stone axe. It is made from a coarse stone, and appears to be a ground and pecked type. The axe thus fits into Manby??s (1979) type 4c, with its thick tapering butt, which would possibly have originally formed a point. The blade end appears to have sustained some damage. The material could possibly be granite, or quartz dolerite as quartz inclusions can be seen. It measures 91.7mm long, 51.2mm wide and 32.1mm thick, weighing 212g. It has a dark brown to black hue with cream inclusions in the depressions. The style of the axe dates it to the early to middle Neolithic (c.3500-2500BC). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ward, Stuart | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
