Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint axehead of Neolithic date. The piece probably represents approximately half of the original tool, the patination of the break suggesting the upper portion was lost in antiquity. The axehead is pointed-oval in section, its straight sides flaring towards a convex cutting edge. On both surfaces there are smooth areas where the tool has been ground and polished; sharpening flakes, which angle down towards the sides, appear to have been struck through this surface, indicating that this is a finished piece that has subsequently been reworked. The exposed flint is light gr…
