Title
Almost complete "sub-cordate" flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date (500000 BC – 40000 BC).
Description
English: Almost complete "sub-cordate" flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date (500000 BC – 40000 BC). Length 115mm, width 83mm and 34mm thick. Weight 291.19g.

Bi-facially worked and symmetrical in plan, the implement has a pointed tip and a rounded butt. Part of the tip is lost. The flake removals cover the whole of both surfaces. It is slightly "rolled" and the patination colour on both faces is variable between a pale buff through to a pale orange. At the edge, on one face there is a later flake scar, the surface colour of which is much the same as the general patination. This implement falls into Wymer's sub-cordate category: Type G (Wymer 1999).
