Abstract:		 The axes here illustrated and described are all from the Thames between its source and Shoeburyness on the estuary, only extant and reasonably well provenanced material is included. The distribution shows a marked increase on the way downstream, and heavy concentrations occur at certain places; however, accidental loss at river crossings is not evidenced, though loss from river craft may well be a cause. Votive deposition is not thought to account for a significant number. Some axes have indications of hafting arrangements. Of the total, 68% are of flint, 32% of stone. They are catalogued according to eighteen morphological classes and also listed in provenance order (source to mouth of the Thames); a list of petrological identifications (eight groups represented) is provided.
