Title |
Late Mesolithic flint axe |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete flint axe. A large tranchet axe of the Mesolithic. The cutting edge part and of the body of the axe only remains, the butt having been broken off in antiquity. It is made from pale mid grey and grey brown flint with less siliceous patches and bands. It is patinated to a matt, pale grey colour with some iron staining. There are numerous flaking scars on all the surfaces, with several transverse flakes removed from one edge and resulting in an off-centre ridge along the length of the axe. The body of the axe has an irregular triangular cross section which, as the axe is shaped and thinned towards the cutting edge, becomes lenticular. The cutting edge has been formed by a "tranchet" or transverse flake from one face. Date: Late Mesolithic- Dimensions: 106 mm x 44.5 mm x 39 mm Weight: 221 g |
