Description: | A Neolithic knapped flint adze, dating to between (3500 BC - 2100 BC) The adze is ovoid in plan with a a lozenge cross section which becomes more rounded towards the butt. It has parallel sides, a slightly rounded butt and an angular almost riangular blade. The surface of the adze is covered in removals with scars and some impact ripples present where flakes were removed from the surface; it is possible there may be more recent damage, particularly at the butt end, but it is difficult to tell to what degree. The flaking is covering, moslty stepped (and some sparse scaled) and is angled crossed abrupt (where it is retouched along the point and parts of the edge) semi-abrupt and low angle both present on the body of the adze The point of the adze has clearly been extensivly reshaped and retouced after the main body of the adze had been shaped, seen in the abrupt change of shape at the point of the adze. The Adze is mostly a very dark brown with a light brown edge and some sparse patches of pale brown throughout. Measurements:113.88mm long, 46.88mm wide and 29.41mm thick and 174.78g
