Description: | An incomplete Neolithic stone axe with the butt missing. The axe measures 98.4mm long, 54.8mm wide and 30.32mm thick. It is made of fine grained stone which is dark grey with occasional white (quartz?) particles and large red coloured particles. The axe has been formed by pecking and grinding. The section is a thick oval and the sides of the axe are almost parallel. The shape of the butt is uncertain. The cutting edge is blunt and battered. The axe fits into Manby??s Class C, type 4 or 5 in his typology of Yorkshire axes (CBA research report no 67, eds. McK Clough and Cummins, 1988). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
