Description: | A complete, but somewhat rolled/abraded, flaked flint axehead. In form the axehead expands from a narrow butt to a broad rounded cutting edge. Measuring 170mm in length, 61mm in width and 40mm thick. The axehead is so abraded that the sharp edges to all the flake scars have been lost, the cutting edge is also blunt. The flint is a mottled, pale grey in colour and has one smallish area of cortex on one edge. A few small sub-circular fossiliserous voids are visible on the surface. The axehead is well made with all-over even flaking. There is no obvious polishing, although the abrasion may have masked a partial polish. This axehead is Neolithic c4000-2000BC in date. | 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
