Description: | An incomplete partially polished flint axehead measuring 105mm in surviving length and 56mm in surviving width, and 20mm in thickness. There is recent damage to the butt of this axehead, which has been snapped off there is a number of fresh flake scars and a few small knicks to the cutting edge. The axehead is bi-convex in cross-section with a slightly convex cutting edge. The polish is confined to the cutting edge and prominent ridges. There is only one small obvious metallic (plough?) mark on the faces, suggesting only relatively recent inclusion in the plough soil. It is stained in patches of pale to medium dark brown. The damaged butt reveals a medium grey flint. This axehead is most likely to be Neolithic 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: | -8000
