Title |
Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flaked axehead |
||
Description |
English: A flint core tool. A flaked axehead. Mid grey and off-white patchy flint retaining the base of the cortex on one face. The flint areas have a glossy patina and there is some iron staining, particularily on the area of cortex. The axe has a lozenge-shaped profile with a slight mid rib on both faces as a result of transverse soft hammer flaking along both faces of the long edges.The butt of the axe is also flaked. The cutting edge is damaged, but there is a possible transverse flake.
Date: Possible Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic - c. 6500 BC - 2900 BC The remnant transverse flake may be evidence of a tranchet sharpening flake which could identify this as a tranchet axe of Late Mesolithic date, but the overall proportions and flaking of the axe are more like those of Neolithic flaked axes. |
