Description: | Incomplete ?pick? or axe of Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date. Length 202mm, width 70mm and 52mm thick. Weight 826g. The pick which is made of chert has a flat butt and the tip of the cutting edge is broken and missing. The break appears to be recent. The pick has three faces and is largely sub-triangular in cross-section. One of the faces is a natural fracture. Other picks of similar form have been discovered in the Isle of Wight. However, most of these are made of flint rather than chert. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
