Title |
Handaxe |
||
Description |
English:
Middle Palaeolithic handaxe this would have been cordate shaped but the tip has been truncated, this is an old break. It is bifacial worked with large flaking scars covering the ventral and dorsal sides, the is short, fine retouch along the edges. Dark brown flint with creamy patches throughout, a thin light creamy patina has formed.
Nicholas Ashton from the British Museum has said 'It's probably of a type that is known as a 'bout coupe' or 'Coygan type' handaxe, which generally seem to date to between 60 ,000- 40,000 years ago.' |
