Description: | Fine hand axe made by the Levallois technique. Cordiform in outline, with a wide, facetted butt and sharp, curved edges. The reverse face is shallowly flaked and ripple marked in places. The bulbar face is irregularly chipped at its edges and tip, where impurities in the flint have rendered it intractible. The point was chipped in antiquity.
Material: Flint
