Title
Mesolithic flint tranchet axe
Description
English: An incomplete flint axe, probably a 'tranchet' type dating to the late Mesolithic or early Neolithic. The axe is slender in plan, tapering to a narrow rounded butt. In cross-section the axe is pointed oval. Both sides are worked, and there appears to be an area of polish - presumably through wear - at the butt-end. The flint is mottled brown in colour and patinated all over.
