Cast copper alloy Chalcolithic flat axe, Type Growton/Milton Moss, dating to c.2500- 2300 BC. It is broken into two pieces, this break seems to have broken in antiquity, possibly it was purposeful. The break is almost half way along the axe and there is a small piece missing on one edge which is visible when the pieces are put together. The axe is very thin, and its thickness does not vary much along its length. The blade edge is rounded, as is the butt end. It has an brown coloured patina with an uneven surface due to corrosion. The blade piece measures 63.25mm in length, 58.…

Knapped, ground and polished axe head of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). This axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the sides of the axe taper from the widest point at the cutting edge to a relatively narrow rounded butt. Width at widest- 55.04mm, at narrowest- 21.30mm. It is mostly complete with just a few chips missing from the edges. It has a white/cream patina and where the surface has chipped away a dark grey stone can be seen. This difference in the colours may be to do with patination from the time spent…

The moulding at the neck consists of two grooved lines running parallel to each other. The body and blade of the axe flare outward from the socket to a fan-shaped blade. The handle is slightly curved and the blade is not symmetrical. This could be to do with wear/damage rather than …
