Description: | Flint axe. Triangular flint with covering angled scalar retouch overall, producing a wide oval section with straight cutting edges along the arises where the two faces meet. One end is now flattened to form an angled butt, though whether this is a deliberate feature or an ancient break is uncertain. Dense white patina suggests the object endured a long period of exposure after its deposition. This object may be an edge polished axe. Suggested date: possibly Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC.Length: 68.1mm, Width: 40.6mm, Thickness: 22.4mm, Weight: 53.17gms.
