A fragment of a Neolithic polished axe of Group VI Great Langdale volcanic tuff dating to c. 4000 - 2200 BC. Only the cutting edge portion has survived and it is sub-rectangular in form and pointed oval in cross-section. The cutting edge has been reworked with a smoothed lateral facet or is very worn. The axe thickens towards the truncated end and there is some damage to the surviving lengths. Smooth surface with a greyish-green patina.  Length (originally the width, measured diagonally to the longest length): 65.69 mm; Width (originally the length)…

A Neolithic Greenstone axe presumed to be of Group VI (6), a product of the Langdale Pike axe factory. This example is an edge-polished flint axe, limited polishing it typical of the late Neolithic. It is covered in scaled and low angle flaking. The axe is pointed oval in cross-section and is broadly sub-rectangular, with a rounded polished cutting edge and a tapered, abraded and rounded butt. The Langdale greenstone axes were traded from a quarry on Langdale Pike, Cumbria, and their distribution around the Humber estuary is denser than anywhere except around the p…

Neolithic axe. A Greenstone axe presumed to be of Group VI (6), a product of the Langdale Pike axe factory, produced as an oval rough-out and finished by fine polishing which emphasises the natural banding of the stone to striking decorative effect. The axe is pointed oval in cross-section with lateral facets (flattened upper and lower edges). It is chipped along the blade edge and truncated at the opposing end. The surface of the axe is patinated and slightly rough in places, indicating an unfinished piece. The Langdale greenstone axes were traded from a quarry on Langdale Pike,…
