Record ID: LANCUM-D53DD8
Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age axe head roughout made from a tertiary flake of a Lakeland tuff. The tuff is similar to, but coarser grained than Langdale tuff. The roughout is thick-butted, double convex in section, sub-rectangular in plan, has crudely sub-rounded ends, and expands in plan from both the butt and the blade end to reach its maximum width 68mm from the blade end. Dates to between c2700 and c1600 BC. The length is 177mm, width 83mm, thickness 52mm, and the weight 711.4g. The rock type is formed from compressed volcanic ash and has a fine grained composition with…
