Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic tranchet axehead. A flaked core tool of broadly rectangular shape and asymmetrical profile formed from a light grey flint nodule interspersed with large patches of cortex. The dorsal face is convexly curved. The ventral face is concavely bowed. The long edges are roughly parallel with the narrowed sub-rounded blade. The butt is slightly narrower than the body and is relatively square and flat. Both the dorsal and ventral faces are crudely worked across the body. The dorsal face has a sub-central ridge / spine extending longitundinally along the body. The cutting edge has …
