Record ID: SF-904B71
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete and reworked polished flint axe of Neolithic date. It is rectangular in form, pointed oval in section and struck from a pale, mottled grey to white flint. Areas of polishing remain visible on both faces and along one edge, but the original object has been subject to extensive bifacial retouch and flake removal, particularly at the crescentic cutting edge, resulting in an object that is probably less than half the length of the original axe. It has perhaps been re-used as a relatively crude axe or alternatively reworked as a core. The entire object measures 82.69mm in len…

Record ID: CORN-BA9E64
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Flint axe, triangular in plan and lenticular in profile and section, tapering to a point at the butt end and squared off at the blade end. The axe is bifacially and bimarginally reworked throughout. There is no polishing on the blade and it is difficult to identify any surface gloss as the whole axe has a surface sheen. The cutting edge is symmetrical in profile suggesting that the implement would have been used as an axe rather than an adze. The flint is a light grey colour which is typical of the local flint derived from the Lower Chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds, but erratic flint is a…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete neolithic ground/polished stone axe. The axe is a flattened hexagon in section, with each ridge polished down towards a pointed oval shape and fully polished on both sides. The axe has suffered from various damage and losses; at the butt there is a recent chip but also an older removal or chip, which has been polished over in antiquity. At other end, the cutting edge has been completely removed in one large fracture and on one face there are two connected surface fractures with unpolished ripple marks within. On the other face the axe has been angled inwards towards the …

Record ID: SWYOR-F66988
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a Neolithic polished stone axe or adze made from a volcanic tuff, probably from the Cumbrian Fells, probably Langdale. Only the butt of the axe survives and it is unusually thin and pointed.
The fragment is sub triangular in plan. At the wide end is has a straight edge, a break, but patinated to the same colour as the rest of the object.There are very neat side facets which show that the object must be deliberately made. The pointed end tapers in both thickness and width. A diagonal facet across the very tip may be wear or intentional working.
The butt shape perhaps …
