English: Jadeite axe found near Breamore, Hampshire in the late 19th century. The precise findspot is unknown but it was somewhere near Marsh Farm (grid reference SU154177). It is 206 mm long, 67 mm wide at the cutting edge, and 36 mm wide at the top. It was broken in prehistoric times at the top, but the chip at the bottom was apparently caused when "Mrs Jeans" of Marsh Farm tossed it out of a window because she had been using it as a paper knife, but found that it tore paper rather than cut. It was acquired by J. W Brooke, who sold it to the Wiltshire Archaeological Society in 1916. It is now in the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. Petrological analysis has shown that the axehead is Alpine jadeite and that it probably came from a free-standing block near Pontinvrea/Giovo Ligure, Liguria, in the Mont Beigua massif near Genoa. The precise date of this axe or its arrival in Britain are uncertain, but two other jadeite axe-heads (or fragments of such) found in Britain have been found in a dated context to the early Neolithic period, 3900 to 3800 BC.
