Description: | Re-edging flake, smoky light brown. A relatively massive re-edging flake which has been struck off the edge of an axe. A previous effort to strike off such a flake was unsuccessful (compare flake scar to the right of the top view). In this case the flake struck proceeded only along half the length of the edge of the axe. The second effort, which removed the present specimen, was successful, though of course the amount by which the original axe was reduced in the process of transverse bevelling was almost double that which would have been incurred had the first effort been successful. (Note that the cross section to the right hand side does not actually represent the thickest part of the flake. Also on that section is represented in broken lines the outline of the original axe.)
