A light grey flint probable axehead. An elongate, tapering core tool. Made on a nodule fragment of pale grey flint with with blue-white patination, a gloss surface and some iron staining. It has been crudely bifacially flaked from the sides to form an irregular mid-line ridge along both faces and a trapezoidal cross section. The narrower end tapers to a crude point. The opposite end has a crude cutting edge formed by bifacially parallel flaking along the axis of the tool. The margins are irregular and the tool curves along its length, indicating that it is unlikely to be a rough-out f…

A light grey flint pick or axehead rough-out. Made on a naturally thermally fractured nodule fragment of pale great flint with large areas of cortex remaining. The surface has an off-white mid-gloss patina. The elongate shape of the nodule has been exploited, leaving one end completely covered in cortex on the dorsal face whilst the other and and face have been worked. The rest of the dorsal face has been flaked from the edges creating a mid-line ridge, largely retaining the cortex. The ventral face has been extensively flaked, giving the tool a triangular to plano-convex cross sectio…

Flint axehead. A long narrow edge polished flint axe of lozenge section. The object is entirely covered by low angled scalar retouch on both sides, working which typically detached large flakes and left an irregular aris on either side. The wider end was then polished on both sides, and retains a slightly curved cutting edge of length 44.3mm. The narrower end was also trimmed as several smaller and more delicate flake removal scars appear here, producing an oval terminal of width 25.8mm; viewed in profile, the axehead is stepped, becoming c.8mm thicker 39mm from its narrower end.
