Description: | A Mesolithic flint tranchet axe. The axe is oval in shape and a light grey colour with iron staining. A small amount of cortex remains in the centre of one side and in small patches on the side edges. It has a shallow biconvex profile, although one side edge slopes downwards, giving the profile a twisted appearance. Flakes have been removed from the surface on both sides; on one side a large flake has been removed at a possible later date, leaving a step in the side edge. | Subjects: | Tranchet Axe | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
