Fairly roughly formed, with several portions of cortex remaining, including an unworked area (c48mm x 30mm) on the thicker edge. Upper side formed by removing flakes from edge to centre. Lower part formed by more indiscriminate striking, mostly in the direction of the unworked area. Mottled mid brown and dark grey flint, milky over much of the surface.

County: the Vale of Glamorgan
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of axe blade with a straight front face while the rear face, although straight at first, sweeps back to from a wide cutting edge. The axe blade has a triangular longitudinal section. Part of the cutting edge, most of the socket and the poll are missing and the remaining portion of the axe is heavily corroded. It is not possible to identify with the naked eye the weld line where one side of the socket is joined to the blade. An example of Manning's Type 2 (1985, 15-16, fig.3); however, it is not certain that this axe is Roman in date. The form of many iron tool types are parti…

County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a probable iron axe, with an oval eye set within a notably wide expansion. Half of the eye, the poll and the end of the blade are missing. The front face of the surviving part of the blade is straight, while the rear, although initially straight, begins to curve back, presumably to form a wide cutting edge. Unfortunately, the loss of the front of the blade prevents confirmation of this suggestion. The thickness of the blade narrows towards the missing cutting edge suggesting that, when complete, the blade had a triangular longitudinal section. Surviving length 159mm, maximu…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Small flint axe/chisel, with bifacial shallow flake scars and a tranchet cutting edge on one face. Black flint is visible where there is recent damage on the edges and at the butt, but otherwise it is patinated medium grey. Probably Mesolithic, as suggested by the tranchet edge, although the shallow cross-section could possibly suggest a Neolithic date.
