Description: | A polished flint axe. Light grey flint, patinated almost all over to a honey coloured low gloss patina. There are several large off-white less siliceous patches. Several areas of plough damage. The proximal end has been broken off, probably in antiquity. There is more recent damage to the cutting edge. It has a pointed and oval cross section. The cutting edge is slightly convex curved. The axe tapers to the missing proximal end. The sides have been ground flat. There are polishing striations visible on the dorsal and ventral surfaces. | 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
