Record ID: SUSS-96FA24
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

The implement has been extensively knapped into a sub-oval shape. One terminal is slightly pointed, the other is rounded. No natural cortex is visible on the surface of the flint. The rounded butt end of the axe or adze has been finely knapped, to form a sharp and precise cutting edge, which resembles Neolithic scraper technology. The knapping scraps have formed high arrises.

Record ID: SUSS-956A26
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
