More model informationThis stone axehead was recovered from a late Neolithic (3200-2400 BC) building on the Ness of Brodgar excavations, Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. This axehead is manufactured from camptonite, a local igneous dyke rock, and shaped by grinding and polishing. The butt end has been re-shaped by pecking.
This model was produced for a Leverhulme Trust funded project ‘Working stone, making communities: technology and identity on prehistoric Orkney’. This model will feature on a web resource about Orcadian stone tools, which is currently under development.
