Title
Lower Palaeolithic flint hand axe illustration
Description
English: Complete lithic implement. Hazel Martingell notes: A good lower Palaeolithic small pointed axe. It is made on brown stained glossy flint and measures 65mm long, 48mm wide, 21.86mm thick and weighs 63.70g. It is possibly an adaptation from the tip of a larger pointed handaxe. There is a ‘platform’ at the base of this artefact from which two larger flakes (on the illustrated view) were removed. Two larger flakes were also removed from the ‘platform’ corners of the reverse side. It dates to 400,00-300,000 BP.
