SiteComments: 

At a slightly elevated section of the bottom of the riverbed of a tributary of the Proses Spruit – mostly dry but with pools of stagnant water. This tributary feeds from the higher mining area north. Raw material: hornfels Patina: Dark grey with a light veneer of rusty brown. Section at broken edge has a much darker black-grey patina. Condition: Section of tip has been broken off post-depositionally. All edges are smooth, including the broken section of the tip – most likely water-worn over a long period. Colour of patina suggests it was not exposed to open air for long – most likely water-lodged for the greater period of its existence. This handaxe is a typical example of a Fauresmith handaxe.
