Neolithic stone axehead
Fragment of a polished stone axe broken at both ends with one, the blade end, being flatenned and highly polished. Most of the polished surface appears to have been reworked to give af facetted outline. Fine transverse scratch marks can be seen in these areas. Probably reused as a linen smoother.
