Title
SF-1404F1: Mesolithic tranchet axe
Description
English: A complete flint Mesolithic tranchet axe. It is elongated ovoid in shape; long and narrow with a slightly wider blade end. Both faces are convex and it is roughly triangular in cross-section with an off-centre ridge running down the centre one face only, while the other face is more flattened. Both faces have been reshaped using invasive, scaled retouch producing large scars largely running inwards towards the centre. There is a small amount of cortex covering one scar on one face. A large triangular transverse 'tranchet' flake has been removed from one side of the cutting end. The flint is dark grey in colour with orange staining on the arises, but limited patination.
