Title
Palaeolithic : Flint Handaxe
Description
English: A pointed Lower Palaeolithic Acheulian flint handaxe which is patinated white and bifacially worked. Part of the butt has broken off and since patinated. There is also a small portion that has broken off more recently at the edge, near the point, which reveals light grey flint. The sides taper gradually to a point which has survived well. One face has brown scrape marks along it. The length is 103.43mm, the width is 60.16mm, the thickness is 31.06mm and the weight is 131.2g.
