Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

Record ID: LVPL-CBF247
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a flint implement- probably an unfinished Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead.
The object is almost tear-drop shaped in plan and is made from a light brown coloured flint. The point has broken off. It looks as though it may have been converted into a scraper later on, possibly pushing the date into the Bronze Age. The rounded end has been worked and retouching is visible.
