Possible Mesolithic flint flaked axe/adze/pick fragment, blade end. About 20% cortex - along one narrow edge and half of one surface away from the working edge. Five flake scars on the cortexed surface; at least eleven flake scars on the other surface - no tranchet flake scar. Damage along the edges at the break - probably later damage. A fault has produced a break in one edge. Mottled light-dark grey flint, sandy orange-brown cortex. Length 45mm, width 57mm, thickness 20.8mm, weight Alternatively this may be a core, but it is difficult to see how the sharp 'blade' end coul…
