Description: | Large flaked axe. Rough-out for polishing. Light grey flint with frequent darker grey and white mottles and patches. Thick white and greyish patina with iron staining at the edges of the flaking scars. Butt and cutting edge have been broken off in recent times (?plough damage). The axe is a long, gently flaring shape and is extensively flaked on both surfaces. It is a pointed oval in cross section. Both sides have a longitudinal ridge (off-centre) from which the flakes were removed. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
