Title |
Mesolithic Tranchet Axe |
||
Description |
English: Pale grey flint with cortex spot, possible tranchet axe. A thick oval flake of roughly oval section with covering hard hammer working overall, and with an angled end which may indicate sharpening by oblique removal of a single flake. The same end is ridged by battering immediately below this site. The object was formed by hard hammer removal of large flakes from the dorsal side, and bears parallel broad flake removal scars on the ventral surface, most clearly visible on one side of a notional longitudinal centre line. One side is flat, probably from a single hard hammer strike during this initial working. The object is lightly iron stained and it is possible that some conchoidal fractures have arisen fortuitously from rolling in gravels after the deposition of the object. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic, 10,000-7000 BC.
