Title
Lower Palaeolithic Handaxe. Illustrated by: Dom Andrews
Description
English: A ovate biface, cordate type Lower Palaeolthic handaxe, from the Middle Achalean period dated to circa 250 000 year BP. It is a large handaxe which has a trimmed butt and is straight sided, the point has been broken off recently. It has soft-hammer reduction. The patination is similar in colour to another flint of this date which was found in the Ouse valley. This flint has not been highly finished, although it does have evidence of re-working. There is a flaw in the flint where probably the frost has started to scatter it.
