Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete though probably unfinished stone axehead of Neolithic date, c. 3500 - 2100 BC. The axehead is trapezoidal in plan with a pointed ovate section. The surfaces are rough with a chip to one side of the butt edge. The unpolished nature of the object suggests it was not properly finished. Patches of a reddish tinge are present on the surface of the object and may be a result of iron staining. The axe fragment is 144.4mm long, 69.1 to 46.5mm wide, 37.7mm thick and weighs 577g. The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock poss…
