Title |
840955. Lower Palaeolithic flint handaxe |
||
Description |
English: A flint handaxe. A bifacially worked pointed handaxe. It has been made on a secondary tabular nodule. Small areas of abraded cortex remain on both faces. The piece is comparatively heavy-butted and the flaking is crude. There is evidence of both hard and soft hammer percussion. The dark grey flint is thickly patinated and stained to a mid to pale yellow-brown. The inter-scar ridges are worn and as a whole the object is moderately abraded. The edges are blunted and heavily chattered and there are indications of incipient thermal cracks. These details indicate a period of fluvial rolling and post-depositional damage.
