Description: | A partially polished flint axehead missing its orginal blade end. The break shows a blotchy pale to medium grey flint underneath, there is a reddish brown staining present on the rest of the axe. There is a suggestion that the break is actually later re-utilisation of the axe though it could also be agricultural damage. The polish is limited to high points and the edges of the axe. A small area of unworked original surface survives on one face. The butt is narrow and rounded with relatively straight sides, the axe has an elliptual cross-section. This axe is 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: | -2150
