Title
Late Mesolithic tranchet flake
Description
English: Probably a poorly stuck 'tranchet' flake from the end of an axe of Late Mesolithic date. The small flake has been taken off across the end of a large heavily retouched tool. It is triangular in section with the retouched faces of the tool meeting in a curved end at almost 90 degrees. More of one side is present than of the other. Both sides show evidence of invasive scalar invasive semi-abrupt to shallow retouch. This flake would not have removed the entire end of the piece and although it would have created a sharp edge it is not a large or shallow as more tranchet flakes. It is 30.4mm wide, 10.2mm long and 12.6mm thick; it weighs 2.21 grams and is made of translucent medium grey flint.
