The Seaford Axe Hoard

The fascinating story of the discovery and rediscovery of a unique prehistoric stone axe hoard. The 15 flint axes were found in 1986 but then forgotten and only displayed as a hoard in 2014 when their national importance was recognized. Hoards like this are very rare. Where were the axes made? By a remarkable coincidence the factory where they were manufactured was also discovered in 2014 very close at hand. Neolithic Seaford is re-created in new maps. From all the evidence it is possible to reconstruct what it was like to live in Sussex five thousand years ago. Royal paperback 134 pages 49 b&w illustrations.
