A heavy butted hand axe dating to the mid Acheulean period (c. 200,000 BP or earlier). The object is bifacially worked. It is made from a creamy/grey flint, and has a deep honey-coloured cortex. The axe has some modern damage to the point and to the butt. The intact surfaces are well rolled indicating that it was carried to its findspot, probably by fluvio-glacial drift in antiquity. The amygdaliod form is one of the most common types recovered from the gravel deposits around the Ouse and particularly the sites at Kempston and Biddenham. It measures 93.02mm high by 75.18mm wide and 40.08mm thick. The weight is 277.86g. Flint implement of Palaeolithic date.
