Description: | Small polished Neolithic axe. The axe has been extensively used and re-polished. The butt end is damaged and now 29mm in width. The side facets are extremely worn and are deeply faceted by the reground cutting edge. When viewed from the side the cutting edge has a semi-circular facet leading towards the blade. The cutting edge is now completely blunt and has an almost flat face 10mm in width on one side. The other side is ground to an angle. The axe is a dark green/black colour and may be a langdale product.Dr Kevin Leahy notes: the transverse scar across the face of this axe suggests that this axe has, at some stage, been sectioned by the Implement Petrology Group.
