Incomplete Neolithic flint axe. The axe is of local flint and is a mottled cream-grey colour with red iron staining along the more prominant flake edges. The fragment is approximately one third of the axe and is from one end. The cross-section and profile of the cutting edge suggests that it was used as an adze rather than an axe.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Knapped, ground and polished axe head of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). This axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the sides of the axe taper from the widest point at the cutting edge to a relatively narrow rounded butt. Width at widest- 55.04mm, at narrowest- 21.30mm. It is mostly complete with just a few chips missing from the edges. It has a white/cream patina and where the surface has chipped away a dark grey stone can be seen. This difference in the colours may be to do with patination from the time spent…

The axe gently tapers from blade to butt end, each of which are rounded at the corners. In cross-section the axe is oval; there are no side facets. The cutting edge is faceted to form a sharp edge. The surface of the axe appears very worn and pitted.
