Description: | Blade end of polished flint axe, snapped transversely with a hinged fracture. The cutting edge is sharp with slight recent damage only. The polished and lightly patinated surface extends up the whole of the residual length of 62mm. Edges are rounded but not facetted. These appear to have been attempts to utilise the fragment, part patination, as a core for flake production, at least six small flakes having been struck. The patinated surface has sparse spotty iron staining and some probable scratches from agricultural activity. Flint body is dark grey. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -4000
