A complete ground and polished Type 1, Cornish greenstone axehead dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2400 BC). The axehead is pointed oval in cross section at the cutting end and butt end. When viewing its side profile (looking at the larger, flatter faces of the axe), it tapers steadily from the broader cutting edge towards the butt end. When looking at the axe along the longer edges, both the cutting edge and butt end of the axe are a similar width, with the widest section being in the middle of the axehead. It has suffered some damage, with the original polished sur…

From the centre the body thins slightly to the butt end from a thickess of 43mm in the middle to a 22mm thickness to form a slightly rounded end. At the opposite end, the body narrows slightly and thins to form a slightly curved cu…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete whetstone, dating to the early Medieval to Medieval period (c.AD 700-1400). The object is broadly triangular in plan tapering in width from the sub-oval pierced end to a rounded point. The wider end or top of the object is pierced with a circular perforation measuring 5mm in diameter. This appears to have been drilled from each face. It is likely that this hone would have been suspended around the neck by means of the hole at one terminal. A fragment of the stone has broken away in recent times at the holed terminal end. Thin horizontal striations or scratches are vis…
