Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete stone axe dating to the Neolithic period, (3500 BC - 2100 BC). The object is D-shaped in plan with tapering sides which terminate in a break. It is oval in cross-section. From the break the sides flare outwards to the cutting edge. The cutting edge is worn and is undulating due to recent damage. The cutting edge measures 6.87mm thick. The butt end of the object is missing and the break appears to have occurred during antiquity. The object has been polished on each face to create the form. The stone is a light to mid brown is medium grained and flecked and is likely to be…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The edge damage seems to be post-depositional and not deliberate working. It shows evidence of scars from several directions implying it is from a process of carefully shaping something larger, possibly a flint core or possibly an implement, rather than being removed in its own right as a blank for a tool. This is a pretty typical local boulder clay origin flint. Dating is very difficult but the lack of blade characteristics might just marginally push this into a Neolithic or early Bronze Age date (4th to early 2nd millen…

Record ID: LVPL-EF86C6
Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint flake with bulb and platform intact. It is a pointed oval in plan. Fine working or at least utilisation along the lower edge that might suggest a sawing or cutting function and just possibly part of the upper edge also. It probably dates to late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The centuries around the later 3rd millennium BC might be most likely. It is light brown in colour.
