Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Bronze Age stone battle axe head. The stone is unfinished. It has been polished, however it has split at the end along what appears to be a natural fault in the stone. The haft hole is only drilled about three quaters of the way through. It therefore seems that the axe was discarded when it split part way through its production.

Lower Palaeolithic flint biface.Boldly worked small nodule of cherty North Downs flint, appears to have been re-sharpened at its tip by the removal of two transverse flakes,one on each face. Two expanses of original thermal surface and a small area of worn cortex survive at the butt. The piece has developed a glossy creamy-white surface patination, marked with several patches of iron-staining.There are some minor frost cracks,while some of the higher points have suffered weathering.The tip has been broken and repaired since its discovery.
