Record ID: SUSS-8A97B8
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A polished stone axe head fragment. Chris Butler (local Sussex Lithic tools expert) said the axe dates to the Neolithic period. All that remains of the stone axe is the rounded butt end. The stone used to make the axe is most unusual and almost certainly not local. The stone is probably quartzite, it could be flint but if so it is not a local type.
