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. 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…

Group 6 Borrowdale Tuff rock type, green in colour. It has some working at one end which may suggest it has been used as an ad hoc tool at some point in prehistory. It is very weather worn.
Most of the breaks on the stone are not human made but the end which has been photographed appears to have had a few flakes taken off purposefully. All the other edges are worn/smooth and this is due to weathering
It is an irregular shape meaasuring 45.31 x 31.27 x 19.04mm

Stone axe-hammer head dating from the final phases of the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.
The axe head has been damaged, most likely by a plough, there are scratch marks on the sides and at the butt end some chunks have been broken off. Overall the axe head is sub-triangular in plan, with the butt having rounded corners and the blade not being central. The shafthole is midway between the blade and butt but is not equi-distant from the sides. It is circular and smooth all the way through. The axe is made from a hard, grey, igenous stone.
Using Roe's typology this is a Class 2 …
