Title
SF-246613
Description
English: An incomplete flint Mesolithic tranchet axe or Neolithic flaked adze. It is trapezoidal in shape, expanding slightly towards the damaged end and roughly triangular in cross-section with a raised ridge running longitudinally down the centre of one face. There is a rough break across one end where a section is missing. There is invasive, scaled retouch on both faces, but this is less extensive on the flatter face. The flint is dark brown in colour with some orange staining and very little patination. A very small amount of cortex survives on both faces.

Because of damage it cannot be certain whether or not there was a tranchet flake removed originally. Therefore only a broad Mesolithic to Neolithic date range can be assigned.
