Description: | A Palaeolithic sub-cordate hand axe, Both faces have small area of thin, smooth cortex while one flake has a large 'pot lid' scar (equally patinated and stained brown as the rest of the hand axe). Flakes have been removed from both surfaces to shape the axe. It is an elongated oval in plan, tapering toward a pointed cutting end. The edges of the axe are damaged and worn. The appearance of the hand axe is suggestive that it is derived from a gravel deposit.Length 152mm, width 85.7mm, thickness 38.9mm, weight 523.6g Found on Happisburgh beach, Norfolk, summer 2008
