Description: | Green TuffPolished Axehead fragment. A chip sheared from the cutting edge of a Greenstone Polished Axe, probably Langdale stone Group 6. One edge had been realigned before breakage, and one edge which may have been a cutting edge is atypically broadly angled. The finder kindly comments that the resultant section may indicate the tool had been used as adze rather than axe; this reporter has noted occasional evidence for the reshaping of worn or broken axeheads. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 3500-2900 BC.Length: 40.9mm, Width: 39.1mm, Thickness: 12.3mm, Weight: 16.89gms.
