Description: | A fragment of a Mesolithic tranchet axehead or a slightly later Neolithic flaked axehead (not enough survives to be sure). It comprises the butt end (unless it is a narrow cutting end). Measures 35.05x34.92x22.51mm and weighs 23.9g.The axehead fragment is lentoid in cross-section and has large flake scars on both surfaces with some iron staining on the arises. The flint is 100% heavily patinated on all surfaces, including the break which indicates this occurred in ancient times.
