Description: | A Neolithic ground and polished stone axe. The axe is 79.44mm long, 85.31mm wide and 24.96mm thick. It has faceted sides which have been deliberately shaped and polished. There is a central notch in the butt. This may be intentionally shaped to aid hafting. There is evidence of use on the cutting edge, with some damage and some use wear. There are also post depositional scratches and some chips. No close parallel has been found because the axe is squatter than most examples. It weighs 378g. The stone is very fine grained and is purple brown in colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
