Description: | Flaked and lightly polished axe. Heavy axe with semicircular cutting edge at the broadest point and a slightly curved butt (58mm wide); in pale grey mottled flint stained brown. Polish is relatively light, affecting only the high points over the main body of the axe and one facet at the cutting edge. The butt and lateral edges are sharp. There is slight damage at the cutting edge exposing the underlying flint, otherwise the edge remains sharp. The brown staining suggests that the axe has been in an iron rich environment, perhaps waterlogged. Dimensions 172x76x40mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
