Description: | Flaked flint axe in pale grey flint with coarse grained inclusions, negligible patination but with some spotty iron staining. Flaked overall and with all edges relatively sharp. The curved cutting edge and both lateral edges have a wavy profile from alternate flaking. There is no trace of polishing. In profile the axe is broadest about one third of its length from the cutting edge and thence curves slowly to a broad butt.
