Description: | A fragment from the butt end of a part-polished flint axehead. The axe has a medium to dark grey flint, with a number of rust marks on the surfaces suggesting damage by the plough. It has a thick, oval shaped cross section with polishing restricted to the sides and higher portions of the axe only. The end of the butt is missing due to old breaks, perhaps also caused by a plough. The main break also shows evidence for a number of smaller flakes being removed, possibly this was deliberate and the object was re-used as a core, or perhaps this is also the result of plough damage. The axehead measures 98.61mm in length, 61.42mm in width, 44.20mm in thickness, and weighs 265.87g. It is of Neolithic date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
