Description: | Mesolithic pick made from a flint nodule, original cortex present on one face, the other surfaces are covered covered by white recortication. Where this has been damage the original, opaque, mid-grey flint can be seen. One end has been flaked to form a three sided point with some retouch (invasive, scaled, low angle). While the finder suggested that this object was a handaxe it is better interpreted as a Mesolithic pick. Length 183mm, Width 70, Thickness 67mm, Mass 742.0g
