Description: | A patinated or stained struck flint adze of Mesolithic date. It is triangular in section with a slightly curved profile and has all over bifacial flake removal. The blade end is rectangular in form with transverse flake removal and limited retouch. The entire object has a stained or patinated mottled grey/brown surface and measures 155mm in length, 47.44mm in width, 26.19mm in thickness and 233.20g in weight. The form of this object suggests it is probably an adze rather than a tranchet axe, and of Mesolithic date, c.10,000-4000 BC.
