Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is oval in section with narrow and flattened sides. One face is smooth and polished while the other has a large indentation an two patches which have been scraped. The wear around the edges of this area suggest the damage is old. The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which allowed it to be highly polished. It is likely that axes such as this were high s…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is sub-oval in both plan and section with extensive damage to one side. One face is smooth and polished while the other has lost much of its original surface due to damage resulting in a rough irregular appearance. The cutting edge of the axe is still fairly sharp with two small damaged notches to either side. The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which…

Record ID: YORYM-518100
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete quartzite axehead of late Neolithic date 3500-2100 BC. The axehead is triangular in plan and ovate in section. The dorsal surface is invasively flaked across the entire surface, with negative scars indicating knapping blows from right to left hand sides. The distal edge is ground and polished to create a precise cutting edge, there is some slight notching to the polished aspect of the edge. The proximal end tapers into a narrowed profile, the end is abruptly blunted. The ventral surface also contains invasive flaking but appears to have been worked from a number of differe…

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete, possibly modified, greenstone axehead of Neolithic date. The cutting edge of the axehead is all that remains and is ovate in plan and triangular section. The edges are worn and broken though the remaining original surfaces are smooth. The fragment is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which allowed it to be highly polished. It is likely that axes such as this were high status and probably not functional.…
