Stone Age Mesolithic Tranchet Adze

The flake is removed parallel to the final intended cutting edge of the tool which creates a single straight and sharp cutting edge as wide as the tool itself.

Follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and experience the remarkable technology of prehistoric peoples, this tranchet adze is knapped with Mesolithic flint knapping techniques. This stone working technique represents an important step in the evolution of lithic technology, as it bridged the gap between the more rudimentary Paleolithic tools and the relatively polished tools of the Neolithic. At certain European excavation sites, the discovery of tranchet adze is regarded as an early Mesolithic marker.
