An incomplete Neolithic flaked an polished flint axe. It is roughly triangular in shape, with largely straight sides and a slightly outwards curving blade end. Both faces are covered with scaled, covering retouch and have been partially polished on the ridges between the flaking scars. The blade end has also been polished to create a sharp cutting edge. There is an abrupt break across the butt end and its tip is missing. The flint is an opaque light grey in colour with some surface patination. Length: 94.87mm, width: 48.86mm, thickness: 11.93mm, weight: 16.37g

An incomplete polished flint axe of Neolithic date. Only one end of the axe survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is oval sectioned, triangular in form and tapers towards a cutting edge that has relatively neat edge retouch. Both faces have bifacial flake removal with traces of polishing are visible on both sides in very small patches. The entire object has a mottled dark red/brown to white patination that is visible at the old break as well as on all other exterior surfaces, indicating that it was damaged in antiquity and has been subject to subsequent stai…

A complete polished stone axe of Neolithic date. It is oval shaped in form and section, and formed from a dense volcanic stone possibly from a source in the Lake District, although this is uncertain without further scientific analysis. The crescentic, convex cutting edge is partially incomplete due to old breaks but the object is otherwise intact. Both faces of the axe show signs of post-depositional wear, with one face being particularly pitted and rough possibly due the nature of its deposition in the ground or given its findspot through exposure to water. Any original highly polish…

An incomplete and re-worked polished flint axe of Neolithic date. It is formed from a mottled grey flint that has staining in places on the surfaces probably resultant from modern agricultural activity. The axe is plano-convex in section and has broken at both the butt and blade end. At the butt end there are the remains of all over polishing with residual flake scars and polished edges that are slightly flattened. The blade end appears to have been broken, perhaps as a result of usage, and subsequently re-worked with crude bifacial flaking and retouch visible on all surfaces producin…

A polished flint axe of Neolithic date. It is formed from a grey flint that has surfaces which have been stained to a mottled light orange/brown colour and with slight plough damage in places. It is plano-convex in section with a crescentic blade that is slightly dished in profile, probably as a result of polishing, and has abrasion marks on both faces. The entire object has all over polish with residual flake scars and polished edges that are semi-flattened. This axe measures 155mm in length, 64.04mm in width, 28.92mm in thickness, and weighs 340g. This axe dates to the Neolithic per…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A modified polished flint axehead of Neolithic to Iron Age date. The original polished axe has been broken at each end where it has been re-worked and utilised as a hammer stone, a tool for abrasion or for similar purposes. In its current state the tool is oval shaped in section and sub-rectangular in form, expanding at one end and contracting at the other towards rounded ends. Evidence of the original polished axehead can be seen through the presence of flat sides that are heavily polished and with an off-white patina. Similarly, the carefully flaked convex faces of the object demonst…

An incomplete partially polished axehead of Neolithic date. It has a mottled grey flint visible in the relatively recent break, and preserves only the blade end, the remainder missing due to old breaks. It is slightly plano-convex in section with a convex cutting edge, some later flake scars and more recent damage perhaps the result of the plough. Several rust red plough marks are visible on the surfaces. The axe has been polished on all surfaces, but slightly unevenly leaving flake scars visible in some areas. It measures 108.35mm in length, 68.69mm in width, 36.79mm in thickness, and…

A fragment from the butt end of a part-polished flint axehead. The axe has a medium to dark grey flint, with a number of rust marks on the surfaces suggesting damage by the plough. It has a thick, oval shaped cross section with polishing restricted to the sides and higher portions of the axe only. The end of the butt is missing due to old breaks, perhaps also caused by a plough. The main break also shows evidence for a number of smaller flakes being removed, possibly this was deliberate and the object was re-used as a core, or perhaps this is also the result of plough damage. The axehe…
