Title
Palaeolithic Handaxe
Description
English: A lithic implement which is considered to be a handaxe of Acheulian date (Lower Palaeolithic). The blade part at the proximal end is regular and symmetrical, while the distal end is quite irregular, forming a shape akin to a scalene triangle. The flint is of a grey colour with some areas covered by a creamy patina, spread over both the dorsal and ventral faces. It is in fair condition, with flake removals remaining clearly visible despite some wear and relatively recent scarring.
