Record ID: WILT-D801D3
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A possible fragment of Neolithic polished axehead, the fabric of which is possibly a greenstone with micaceous or quartz inclusions. It measures 55.69x57.40x23.84mm and weighs 72.4g. The object is broken on all edges with one polished face, showing a fault line and a line of iron staining/ residue. The curvature of the object seems possibly a little too round for an axehead, and Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen comments (from images only) that in this case it could possibly be part of a broken macehead. Dr Kevin Leahy also suspects that this is not a axehead as its section lacks sym…

An almost complete Neolithic (3500-2100 BC) greenstone axehead, measuring 87.82x65.78x32.81mm and weighing 295.46g. There is some (worn) damage at the butt end and on one face (the flatter face). The surface is now rough and pitted due to weathering, but would have originally been polished smooth. The axehead is sub-triangular in shape and lenticular in cross section. It is widest and flattest at the cutting edge (65.78x3.10mm) and narrowest at the butt end (49.10mm). It is thickest just below the butt end (32.81mm). The sides of the axehead are flattened. The cutting edge is shar…

*Identification from image only* An incomplete Neolithic (3500 - 2100 BC) stone axehead, consisting of the butt end and measuring c.110mm in incomplete length.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete sandstone probable hone stone, measuring 88.99x(max)70.71x(max)27.89mm and weighing 212.10g. The widest edge is also the thinnest, the incomplete stone being wedge-shaped and triangular in cross-section. Both faces display shallow grooves. Neolithic to Victorian in date, perhaps Prehistoric or Medieval/ Post-Medieval, given that hones between these dates tend to be long and narrow.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly Prehistoric stone implement, possibly a ground and polished axehead. It measures 72.3mm in length, is max.62.6mm wide and min.45.9mm wide. It is 16.4mm thick and weighs 127.46g. The implement is curious in its size, being almost as wide as it is long, possibly suggesting it has been reused. If an axehead, both the cutting (widest) end and hafting (shorter) end have been worked to a point. The wider end is also rather lop-sided. The long edges too are worked to a point, so that the object as a whole is lenticular in section. A curious striation on the surface of the objec…
