Title
Neolithic flaked axe
Description
English: Flaked axehead, no cortex present, full recortication, all surfaces now white. The flint appears to have been mixed grey and opaque. One face of the adze is keeled, the other convex, Both faces may bear an unworked area from the original flint cobble. Flaking is coarse but a regular form has been achieved. The cutting edge has been damaged making it difficult to see the original form of the sharpening. While this object could be a Mesolithic tranchet axe it appears more carefully worked than most examples of the type and a later date is possible. Length 125mm, Width 51mm, Thickness 25mm, Mass 180.8g
Depicted place (County of findspot) East Sussex
Date between 9000 BC and 2200 BC
