Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete, snapped flint tranchet axe of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, struck from a pale yellow/orange flint. One end survives intact, probably the butt end or the unfinished blade end, snapped towards the centre due to old breaks and a flaw in the stone. It is oval shaped in section, bifacially worked with multiple flake scars on both face and limited crude edge retouch. Orange staining on both faces indicates plough damage. It measures 60.50mm in length, 49.31mm in width, 22.39mm in thickness and 71.09g in weight. This is an incomplete struck flint axe of either Mesolithic or N…

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic tranchet axehead. The main blade flakes are removed transversely and it would originally have been hafted in a wooden handle. The axehead is complete but relatively small, and made of a pale grey/brown flint. It is bifacially worked with a pointed butt and a broad, rounded cutting edge formed by the removal of single transverse flakes. Tranchet axes are in many ways better than the later (Neolithic) flaked and polished axes in that the resharpening is simple and rapid, making it a far more utilitarian tool.
