Title |
AXE |
||
Description |
English: Complete Mesolithic adze, of off-white patinated flint with spotty iron stains to both faces. Both faces are confidently knapped, creating the dorsal face with steep angles and a slightly meandering medial ridge, the ventral face has been knapped so it is much flatter, giving the adze a sub-triangular section. All flake scars appear to be hard hammer struck, there is a slight asymmetry to the plan view with one lateral edge much straighter than the other. The broader or the two ends has been sharpened with a "tranchet" flake removal, this has been struck from the side, taking a large flake from the dorsal face and creating a wedge-shaped cutting edge, a typical and diagnostic feature of Mesolithic axes and adzes. |
