TRANCHET AXEHEAD
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 lozenge-shaped in cross-section with an off-centre ridge running down the centre of each one. Both faces have been reshaped using invasive, scaled retouch producing large scars. A large triangular transverse 'tranchet' flake has been removed from one side of the cutting end. The flint is dark grey in colour with lighter mottled patination covering much of both faces and some orange staining.
