Description: | A flint Acheulian handaxe of a white-grey flint dating to the Lower Palaeolithic. It has a rounded point at the butt end and tapers gradually to a tip at the other end. The object has a shallow S-shaped profile. It is covered by removals, particularly along its edges, and far more on one face than the other. These have been somewhat smoothed by water action. There are large areas of white patination, with underlying grey, and some areas stained slightly by iron.
