Handaxe

This is a large almond-shaped tool. Both surfaces are covered with large flat chips, flattening and partially leveling the surface of the object. The edges are rounded, and not very smooth. In some places they have finer retouch chips. In ancient times, some chips were applied specifically to level the edge and adjust the shape of the tool, others appeared during the use of the tool, but there are also more recent chips from accidental damage. The upper end is sharpened, but its tip is flattened by several chips. This could happen when using the item as a cutting or piercing tool. The lower rounded and more massive end is flattened by chips almost in the same way as the working end. The surface is heavily patinated and weathered, up to the appearance of small cavities, which indicates that the handaxe was on the surface of the earth for a very long time, where it was discovered during the collection of artifactual remains.
It has a functional purpose: a universal tool for any operations - dissection, cutting, chopping, splitting and others. It is a typical tool of the Paleolithic era in Europe.
