Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic polished flint axe, c. 4.500 - 3.500 BC. A light grey - grey mottled, blotchy flint with an even, polished surface but with some areas of polishing unfinished. There is some slight plough damage to the cutting edge of the axe, and iron staining streaks in places showing where the plough has clipped it several times. Longitudinally, the axe is convex in shape - the break of the slope towards the cutting edge is sharp and at an angle of nearly 45 degrees; towards the butt end of the axe the break of slope is slightly less at around 30 degrees. Latitudinally, the axe…

A fragment of a polished Neolithic Axe head c. 4000- 2200 BC crafted from mottled grey flint. The flint fragment is bi-faced and flaked along one edge suggesting that it has had a secondary use as a knife. The piece of flint has been in a fire at some time, probably in antiquity as there is evidence of fire cracking, which may have resulted in the piece having broken up through time.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small ground-polished Green Stone axe. Early-mid Neolithic c. 4500-2900 BC. Possibly of Cornish Green Stone, Cumbria or North Wales in origin and is of a dark grey-green hue. The Axe is symmetrical in cross-section, and is transverse in shape both at the Distal and Proximal ends. Both ventral and dorsal surfaces are finely ground and semi-polished, and the distal end has a fine cutting edge. There is also a small crescent-shaped indentation on the ventral - dorsal surface, approximately mid way along the axe, which may have been added to aid the hafting of the axe into its haft. The…

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and re-worked flint implement, possibly an axe of Mesolithic to Neolithic date. It is struck from a grey flint and has patinated/stained blue grey surfaces that have evidence of later, unpatinated, retouch. One edge is crescentic in form and has bifacial low angled and scaled retouch producing a sub-oval cross section. The remaining sides and end of the implement have later crude semi-abrupt to abrupt retouch and some post-depositioal damage, with the natural unpatinated flint visible. The entire object measures 58.63mm in length, 60.35mm in width, 15.34mm in thickness, …

Object type: AXE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Small flint axe/chisel, with bifacial shallow flake scars and a tranchet cutting edge on one face. Black flint is visible where there is recent damage on the edges and at the butt, but otherwise it is patinated medium grey. Probably Mesolithic, as suggested by the tranchet edge, although the shallow cross-section could possibly suggest a Neolithic date.
