Record ID: SWYOR-328703
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic polished flint axe. The axe is 152.2mm long, 62.6mm wide and 28mm thick. It weighs 338g. The axe is a tapering sub-rectangular shape and is ovoid in section with a flat facet at each end of the oval. The curved cutting edge is in good condition but there is some damage to the narrow end and a little of the end is missing. The damage at the haft end appears to be post depositional, but is not very recent, as the break is patinated. The axe patination in general is variable, the variations in colour being difference in patination rather than differences in the stone. The axe…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The broken tip from a large flint 'long blade' implement. The flint is pale grey-blue in colour. The artefact has been provisionally dated to the final upper palaeolithic period (40,000 - 8,300 BC) although based on the tip of the blade alone this cannot be confirmed.
The artefact measures 33.84mm long by 17.62mm wide, is 3.55mm thick and weighs 2.16g.

Undiagnostic struck flint flakes often referred to as debitage. These finds represent waste flakes created during the knapping process and none could be dated with any degree of confidence although the suggestion was made that the white flint flake (top left in the photograph) is typical of the palaeolithic period. The overall weight of this group is 47.20g and comprises of 9 individual pieces.

A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period of 2500 - 1500 BC. The arrowhead is 27mm long and 25mm wide. It has pointed tangs and a fairly square end to the tang. It may be a Sutton type. It is invasively retouched and has been carefully worked. The flint is a light orangey grey colour and appears to be completely patinated. Barbed and tanged arrowheads are frequently found in graves containing Beaker vessels.

A re-touched flint flake tool of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date.
The tool, which has been made from a broad flake, is sub-triangular in form. The upper surface has two broad flake removal scars, whilst the underside shows rippling from the initial strike. Re-touching has occurred around two of the three edges, with the removal of a single row of mostly very small chippings; the remaining side retains its original cortex. The flint is a lightly patinated mottled greyish brown.
The implement measures 29.6mm long, 28.9mm wide and 5.5mm thick. The weight is 4.91g.

A flint axe of Neolithic date.
The axe is sub-rectangular in plan, tapering only slightly towards the rounded butt. It is pointed oval in section, the greatest thickness being at the centre point. The top half of one face and the the bottom part of the opposite face show that the flint surface was originally polished smooth. The fact that the remainder of the surfaces are lower than these smooth areas and show numerous flake removal scars suggests that the axe was re-worked at some point in its life. The flint is a heavily patinated mottled creamy-grey colour.
