AXEHEAD 104136

Description: Roughout for a chalk hand-axe, measuring 152x87x46mm. It weighs 460g. It is presumably Neolithic in date and possibly ritual, given its non-use as a cutting implement. The outer surface of the original chalk nodule is visible over c.10% of the object. It has been fashioned by large flakes being removed. Its manufacture and shape show this is undoubtedly a hand axe.
