Title
Mesolithic tranchet flint axe illustration
Description
English: Complete lithic implement. Hazel Martingell notes: A fine Mesolithic, small tranchet axe. It is made on grey flint with inclusions and stained light brown ochre on the dorsal/upper surface (view 1 on the illustration). There are two areas of cortex on the lower surface (view 3). It measures 80mm long, 30mm wide, 17mm thick and weighs 45.42g. This tranchet axe is particularly well made and carefully flaked. The lower surface flake removals are flat and truncated at the bulbar ends by the removal of the flakes on the upper surface, which are more abrupt and curved. It is possible that this artefact was a reduction of a larger axe/adze. It dates to 9,000-4000 BC.
