AXE

Unique ID: LIN-A579D5

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Published Find published

Bronze Age stone battle axe head. The stone is unfinished. It has been polished, however it has split at the end along what appears to be a natural fault in the stone. The haft hole is only drilled about three quaters of the way through. It therefore seems that the axe was discarded when it split part way through its production.
