Object type: PLANO CONVEX KNIFE

Of dark brown patinated flint, bulb removed by semi-invasive direct percussion struck from the dorsal face. One lateral edge is invasively retouched only on the dorsal face with seven flake scars (by pressure-flaking?), this is restricted to a natural projection of the "blank" flake.

It is sub-rectangular in plan; tapering towards a transverse break at the point the axe was likely hafted. It seems likely this break occurred in antiquity. In section it is sub-ovate with flattened sides. The blade, mostly intact, bares evidence of use, and has retained a defined edge. The faces of the axe are defined by marks and fractures which vary in intensity. One face bears deeper scars than the other. The axe belongs to t…
