Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flaked axe (or possibly an adze). The axe dates from between circa 3000 BC to 1500 BC. The implement has been knapped into a sub-oval shape.

A small Neolithic thumb scaper.
The dorsal surface is still coated with 40% of the natural cortex. The flake has been broken, therefore removing the bulb of percussion and the striking platform. The edges of the dorsal surface (apart from the broken edge) all exhibit signs of having been retouched.
Little retouch is evident on the ventral surface, though some scars are evident.
