Title |
Lower Palaeolithic handaxe |
||
Description |
English: A complete flint Acheulian handaxe of slightly stained white-brown patina dating to the Lower Palaeolithic. The axe is cordate in form, only very slightly asymmetrical. The butt is U shaped and the tip shallowly pointed. It has fairly straight, slightly battered edges. It is covered by removals which have been somewhat smoothed by water action. Some high points have been left on both faces to to make the implement more ergonomic; some small patches of chalk cortex survive at these points. Some areas of white patination have been stained orange by iron, with some areas of underlying mid brown flint showing through in places. |
