Number 1: The Happisburgh handaxe


Palaeolithic handaxe. Ovate handaxe in mint condition but with a small break at the butt end. Black flint with pale grey coarse grained inclusions, including a large one at the butt end, probably responsible for the v-shaped break. One face carries two small areas of fine grey pebble cortex. Dimensions 128 x 79 x 37mm.
