Title
Tranchet Axehead
Description
English: Part of a flint tranchet axehead. The object is irregularly bifacially flaked, with an asymmetrical cross-section. The margins are crude and sometimes markedly 'zig-zag': there are some areas of deliberate battering to blunt them. The cutting edge (now damaged, either in use or post-loss) is formed by removal of an oblique flake across the end of the axe. The break is slightly oblique, the presence of a small bulb on one edge of the break may indicate deliberate 'anvil' breakage. The axe has a matt off white , all over patina with some reddish brown ferrous stains.

Date: Mesolithic 10000 to 4000BC.

Dimensions: 78mm x 43.7mm x 30mm.

Weight: 130.6g.
