Description: | A Lower Palaeolithic flint biface dating to the Acheulian. It is sub-oval in plan and is worked all over. It has some modern damage mainly located at one tip, and the axe overall has a slightly rolled - but not extensively so - feel to it. The axe presimably was in MIS 6 (Balderton-Southrey) terrace deposits of the Trent and derives from earlier deposits upstream. It is impossible to date, but possibly derives from an MIS11 context (between 424,000 and 374,000 years ago).
