Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Nearly complete Mesolithic sub-triangular sectioned adze of red, grey and orange mottled patinated flint. A recent chip on one edge at the mid-point reveals that the flint was originally mid-grey in colour. There is a patch of whitish cortex on the dorsal face at the butt. All flake scars are hard or semi-hard hammer struck, and care has been taken to produce a (still) sharp cutting edge. A very colourful and well-made example. 158 x 47 x 27.5mm.

Previously recorded in 2009 (P.A.R. ident 12/11/09) Record states: Mesolithic adze/axe? dimentions 99 x 37 x 26 mm. Rod-shaped artifact, with sub-triangular section, in glossy brown flint, flaked on all faces. One end is abrupt, with some evidence of battering, and has a small area of cortex on one face; the other is broken in antiquity, with a hinged fracture. Most probably this is a broken Mesolithic axe or adze which has snapped in use with the loss of the cutting edge. It appears that this has been recorded before in June 1990: NHER 37232 (originally NHER 28435) Found or recorded …
