A flint axehead of Neolithic date, 133mm in length, struck from a mottled grey flint and bifacially worked. The axehead is symmetrical on two axes and has a lenticular cross section, flaring smoothly to a rounded cutting edge 58.7mm wide. There is a large area of damage to the front edge which may be post depositional in origin. There are no areas of polishing. A patch of white cortex is retained at the centre of one face.

A flint axehead. A flaked axehead. Made on a nodule of pale grey-brown flint, now patinated to matt off-white and with iron staining along the flake ridges. Flaked on both faces from the edges, butt and cutting edge. All the cortex has been removed. The side edges are largely straight. It has a wide, slightly convex, cutting edge formed by flake removals from the edge into the body of the axehead. The axe tapers to the butt and has a lentoid cross section. There is some slight damage to the butt. Date: Neolithic - c. 4000 to 2350 BC Dimensions: 118 mm x 60 mm x 27&n…

A complete Neolithic flaked axe head, c.4000-2300 BC. This axehead is made from cream-coloured flint or chert with some iron staining. There are no patches of cortex remaining. The shape is asymmetrical, with one long edge slightly more bulbous than the other, which is straight. In profile, the axe is reasonably similar and balanced. It is very similar in shape to DOR-3F1ECB. The sides appear unfinished and have some post-depositional damage. It is possible that this axehead was to be ground and polished, as it is missing the finer flakes that refine these edges.

An incomplete polished flint axehead of Neolithic date, 108.5mm in length, made from a dark blue-grey flint. The axehead is missing its front portion and blade edge and has broken across the middle, with one side having a hinge fractured removal suggesting the breakage blow came from the opposite side. The butt tip has some post depositional battering damage.

Record ID: SUR-6B7B5D
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small and complete polished flint axehead of Neolithic date, 100mm in length, made from a pale grey-white flint. Both side and cross sections are lenticular in shape. The front part of the axehead has received heavy damage - the patination to the fracture surfaces and lack of damage to the butt end strongly suggest that this derives from its lifetime of use.
