County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A broken and badly damaged Neolithic polished flint axe. Only one of the butt ends survives, the rest of the flint has been lost. The flint is a light-whitish grey. The flint has a transverse break, with many later breaks, where further flakes have been removed (probably caused by the plough). The axe would have been finished to the 'polished axe' stage.

Polished axe in dark grey mottled glossy flint with negligible patination. Polished extensively on one face from the broad blade up the central area to the square butt and with one lateral edge rounded slightly along its whole length, the other only toward the butt. The opposed face is only polished at the extreme edge of the cutting edge and is otherwise neatly finished by shallow re-touch flaking. The elegant shape suggests that this is a flint copy of an Early Bronze Age flat axe, and the shallow invasive flaking is also typical of this transitional period. Almost certainly Late Ne…

A small slightly irregular partly polished Neolithic flint axe head. Measuring 112.6mm in length, 64mm in width at the widest point and 22.6mm in thickness at the thickest point. This axehead is complete apart from six small recent edge nicks which expose sub-surface black flint. The black flint revealed underneath the nicks is suprisingly unusual for flint axes in East Anglia which suggets that most black flint axes are actually imported into the area from elsewhere. Elsewhere the axe head is patinated blue grey. On one face this is more mottled and there is a patch of co…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Polished flint axe of Neolithic date (c.4,000 to 2,000). Light grey flint and highly polished, with some small flake removal scars around the edges. The only damage is to the haft end, where a small area has been struck off, probably by the plough. Otherwise the object is a fine example of the type, with a sharp blade and flattened ground edges on its long sides. It is 153.4mm in length and 63.3mm wide at the blade end and 36.8mm wide at the rear end. The maximum thickness is 34.3mm and it weighs 425g.

Part Polished Flint Axe. Elongated, sub-trapezoidal plan with a thin lenticular cross section, of unpatinated black flint with a few paler, coarse inclusions, these inclusions have been worked confidently and have not caused any flakes to terminate in hinges. The cutting edge is the widest point, both lateral edges are left as knapped and are not abraded to aid with hafting, the sides narrow gently to a thin narrow butt. The ground and polished surfaces are confined to the cutting edge and the immediate high points of the flake scars, the remaining surfaces are invasively kn…

Green volcanic stone, from the Lake District (non-specialist identification by MF) Axe. A Greenstone axe presumed to be of Group VI (6), a product of the Langdale Pike axe factory, produced as an oval rough-out and finished by fine polishing which emphasises natural banding of the stone to striking decorative effect. The axe was originally of oval section, tapered towards its butt end and broader at the blade, and would be hafted for use. Use and re-polishing has left an angled blade, which retains its cutting edge. Both sides of the axe have also been reworked and highly p…
