The axe fragment is 53.9mm long, 60mm wide, 18.3mm thick and weighs 81.8g.
The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which allowed it to be highly polished. It is likely that axes such as this were high status and probably not functional. If functional however the axe would have been hafted to an organic handle or haft.
Axeheads made of Langdale geological material have been found throughout England (see distribution map: http://finds.org.uk/database/search/map/q/langdale) and represent important evidence for the exchange of materials in the Neolithic period.99-3500-21004YORYMYMT : E071102023-05-11T10:56:47Z2023-05-16T14:56:08Z81.8PAS645CBBDF00140818.36053.912124241430220282122921291North YorkshireRyedaleNewtonSE809054.29935793-0.77222148bands.shops.handy10YORYM-CBCA83Stone11794Knapped/flakedIncompleteNEOLITHICx14337NEOLITHICx14337x14337Chance find during metal detectingReturned to finderBDD0002.jpg1226387images/bmorris/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12023-05-16T13:56:08.374Zfinds-11077851107785YORYM-D2E56BSCRAPER (TOOL)NEOLITHICA complete knapped lithic implement of probable Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC.

An almost complete knapped, ground and polished flint axehead of late Neolithic date, c. 2700 - 2300 BC. The axehead is formed of an orange/brown flint with larger pale inclusions and small dark inclusions; probably a North Sea type flint.
The axehead is sub-ovate in plan; narrower at the butt end with sides which gradually widen to the crescentic cutting edge. The axe has a slight humped profile and a regular oval cross section.
The sides have three distinctive polished facets creating a slightly angled appearance with visible striations. The blade end exhibits prominent crescentic polished facets to both sides reflecting how the cutting edge has been ground and sharpened. At the mid-point to one side of the axe (where it is the thickest) there are distinct deliberately roughened/flaked areas. This is often associated with deliberate actions which make the axe easier to haft.
All knapping scars have been removed through polishing and both the butt end and cutting edge are damaged.
It is impossible to source axes such as these without a detailed petrological analysis of the rock. This would allow the original source of the rock to be established. A visual examination by Stuart Ogilvy, Assistant Curator of Natural Science at the Yorkshire Museum, suggested a possible North Sea origin for the present example.
The axehead is 139.2mm long, 64.5mm to 38.1mm wide, 27.4mm thick and weighs 302g.

A complete possible saddle quern handstone of basaltic composition of Neolithic date, c.4000 – 3000 BC.
The object is sub-ovate in plan and section with two flattened surfaces, likely formed by repeated grinding. One surface is fairly shallow while the second is more prominent and heavily worked with an approximately 45 degree angle. A large removal with two smaller adjacent removals, presumably accidental, are present to one edge of the large worked surface. A smaller chip is present at the opposite side of the smaller surface.
The object is 122.8mm long, 73.9mm wide, 43.3mm thick and weighs 655g.
Stuart Ogilvy, Assistant Curator of Natural Science at the Yorkshire Museum, comments that the material is more coarsely grained than typical basalt, similar to dolerite, though is best described as of basaltic composition without further analysis. The origins of the material cannot be determined but it is likely glacial or coastal.
Thanks are also extended to Paula Gentil, Curator of Archaeology at Hull Museums, for her identification of the object.

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a scraper, designed to be held between the thumb and forefinger, formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and ovate in section. The ventral surface is smooth with a bulbar scar. The dorsal surface displays multiple removals with short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch along the curved edge.
The flint is a dark blue/black in colour. The implement is 25.9mm long, 21.5mm wide, 7.7mm thick and weighs 4.7g.
Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types. They had many different functions as they were very useful tools and were employed, for example, for skinning animals, removing the fatty deposit from hinds and much more.

An incomplete knapped lithic implement of late Neolithic date, circa 2700 BC - 2350 BC.
The implement is the proximal portion of a blade formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and section. It has a fairly regular latitudinal break to the upper end.
The ventral surface is smooth with ripples of percussion radiating from a prominent bulb. The dorsal face is irregular with semi-abrupt, short, parallel retouch along the right edge.
The flint is a light to mid-grey colour. The implement is 35.6mm long, 23.4mm wide, 7.3mm thick and weighs 5.9g.
