Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Newcastle upon Tyne
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked stone tool of prehistoric date. The object is roughly rectangular in shape with two adjacent edges bevelled to form a rounded blade. The other two edges are broken, showing that it was originally part of a larger object. This may have been an axe or scraper. Both of the largest surfaces have been worked into a concave shape, one a lot more crudely than the other. This shaping is suggestive of some kind of grip for holding the tool.
