Title |
Middle Palaeolithic boute-coupé handaxe |
||
Description |
English: A flaked handaxe. The flint is dark grey and patinated to a glossy off-white. The flint is highly siliceous with a few patches of more chalky composition. The axe is sub-triangular or cordiform in plan, with a plano-convex cross section and a straight profile. Both faces are covered in soft-hammer flake removals resulting from the thinning process. One face has numerous parallel flaking scars, the other has fewer wider and larger flake removals. The butt is gently convex with distinct corners where it meets the straight lateral edges. The butt has been further worked by retouching from both faces. The remaining perimeter has been finely retouched from one face only, creating three continuous cutting edges. In many respects this implement is most similar to an example recorded from Enfield in the Lower Lea Valley (Bishop, B,. 2002, "A bout coupé handaxe from Enfield in the Lower Lea Valley" Lithics: the Journal of the Lithics Studies Society 23, pages 43 - 47) in terms of its form and working, although it is a little smaller. Cutting edge - 69 mm. Butt - 36 mm |
