Description: | Roughout for a chalk hand-axe, measuring 152x87x46mm. It weighs 460g. It is presumably Neolithic in date and possibly ritual, given its non-use as a cutting implement. The outer surface of the original chalk nodule is visible over c.10% of the object. It has been fashioned by large flakes being removed. Its manufacture and shape show this is undoubtedly a hand axe. | 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: | -3500
