Possibly a fragment of a mesolithic tranchet axe that has been retouched and used as a scraper. |

Description |
English: Possibly a fragment of a mesolithic tranchet axe that has been retouched and used as a scraper. The object is square in profile and roughly triangular in section. It has no cortex remaining on it and the dorsal surface is marked by two larger flake scars making the triangular section. The ventral surface is relatively flat with some shallow scarring from the removal of flakes at a low angle. Around the edges of the object is some crushing damage but also some suggestion of retouch that is short, abrupt and scaled. The distal end of the object is neatly formed by some smaller flake removals but the proximal end is untidy and perhaps suggests being broken away from in an irregular fashion. It is possible that the object is a part of a tranchet axe, the butt end, that has broken and then been reused, given the triangular section and later retouch.
