Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic flint axe, of Manby's Flaked rough-out type, with a thin tapering butt. The object has an elongated ovoid shape; it is less bulbous on one face while the other face has a large raised lump with signs of flaking. In section it is D shaped with the bar being convex too, but less so than the loop. The butt is narrower than the rest of the axe, tapers and then has a squared off end. The sides are convex. The axe is an opaque pale orange and grey colour and cortex is visible on the butt. There are neat removals at the working edge.

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic flint axe which has been shaped by flaking. It is an axe with a thin tapering butt, classified by Manby as an A3 type. There is surviving cortex on one face at the butt end. It is an irregular pointed oval in section and is an elongated ovoid shape in plan. The butt tapers to a point but remains nearly as thick as the centre of the axe. The cutting edge is slightly pointed in plan and has been sharpened with some smaller removals. The flint is patinated and is white with large tan blotches. The flaking causes the median margin of the axes to be wavy or scalloped along the …

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 …

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A flint axe head dating from the Neolithic period. The flint is light grey in colour and patinated, with part of the brown outer cortex still in place. It has a length of 109.91mm, width 37.06mm, thickness 20.34mm, weight 105.56g. It is smaller than most Neolithic axes, and is not particularly well made. The flint has imperfections such as holes and fossils in it, and the axe is not very well shaped, being more rectangular in section than oval. It is probably late Neolithic in date, as the tools with a lower quality of flint and working tend to be later in date (Edmonds, Stone Tools a…
