Title
NARC-4815CA : Axehead : Mesolithic
Description
English: A complete flint Tranchet Axe of Mesolithic date (9,500-3,550 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan, long and narrow with a slightly wider blade end. The lithic is bi-convex in section creating a sub-triangular cross section due an off-centre ridge running down the centre dorsal surface. The dorsal surface has covering scaled and parallel flaking and a minor amount of retained cortex at the proximal end. All edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has covering scaled flaking and a large triangular transverse 'tranchet' flake has been removed from distal edge. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.


The flint is dark grey in colour with some cream inclusions and the cortex is light brown in colour.
