Title
Lower Palaeolithic handaxe: Handaxe
Description
English: A lower palaeolithic handaxe, dating from c. 476,000 - 421,000 BC. The handaxe is in good condition although there is some post-depositional damage to the lateral edges. The handaxe has been made of a flint nodule that has a greyish-white outer colouring, likely to be from a chalk downlands source. There is some iron staining.
