Description: | A complete knapped flint 'Thames pick' trancet axe core tool of Mesolithic date. All the cortex has been removed, however part of the butt end may be unknapped. The opposite end narrows to a shallow point. The upper surface has a high central longitudinal ridge, bevelled to each side. The lower surface is far shallower, bevelled to each side, with longer, far more shallow, removals all over. The sides are fairly straight and slightly battered but the removals are generally fairly crisp. The flint is dark grey with patches of lighter grey-yellow. It measure 169mm (length) x 50.6mm (width) x 32.6mm (thickness).
