Description

Large Prehistoric Stone Hand Axe, 8" Bifacial Tool, “Burch” Label

This large bifacially flaked stone hand axe measures 8 inches long by 4 inches wide and weighs 1 lb 10 oz. Crafted from a dense, dark stone, it shows deliberate knapping scars on both faces, creating sharp edges suited for chopping or cutting tasks. The form and workmanship align with prehistoric tool traditions, offering a substantial example of early stone tool technology.

A remnant adhesive label with handwritten notation “Burch” is present on one side, suggesting prior cataloging or inclusion in a reference collection. Its size, craftsmanship, and collection history make it both an engaging study piece and a distinctive display item for collectors of early artifacts.


Condition

Good condition with age-appropriate wear. Surfaces show patina, edge nicks, and natural weathering consistent with age. Adhesive with handwritten notation remains affixed to one side, as shown in photos.
