Description
English: A possible Lower or Middle Palaeolithic flint hand axe. The axe is ovate in plan and in cross-section, and made from a mottled yellow-light brown flint. The ventral surface is very irregular and damaged. There some signs of flake scars, on the other side, but this axe - if it is anthropogenic at all - is in a bad state. Published in Lithics Vol. 26, p. 97 and fig. 8.
