County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
An almost complete Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flint adze or axehead (c. 10000 BC-c. 3500 BC).

A complete probable Late Neolithic flint implement (2700 BC-2351 BC).
This implement has been fashioned from an elongated pebble. One end has been knapped to form a sharp point and the edges at the tip have been retouched. One edge has been retouched on both faces and has short, low angle, parallel and sub-parallel removals. The other edge, retouched on one face only, has short, low angle parallel removals. The butt end is rounded.
