This week’s #FindsFriday is an unfinished Neolithic axe from Suffolk, known as a preform. There’s an issue with its butt end (the top part) which meant that, despite being nearly complete, it couldn’t be finished.
Fascinatingly, the face in the right-hand image shows around three undeveloped points of percussion from being struck hard. It’s tempting to imagine the knapper, realising the flaw, took a few frustrated whacks at it!
