Title
TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Description
English:

A light grey flint tranchet axehead. Mid grey and grey-brown mottled flint with a small area of nodule cortex remaining. The surface has a milky, glossy patina and some iron staining. The axe tapers towards the butt and has a lenticular to sub-triangular cross section. Along one long side the edge is straight and the opposite edge is twisted. There is extensive, broad flaking from the edges over all surfaces. The margins are blunted and abraded. The cutting edge has been formed by removal of a single transverse (tranchet) flake from one face of the axe.
