Amazing Rare Handaxe Chisel, Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 800.000 - 400.000 BC
Amazing Rare Handaxe Chisel. Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 800.000- 400.000 BC Description Type: handaxe: chisel on pebble Paleolithic Period. Industry: Lower Palaeolithic. Lower Acheulian. Dating: archaeological research in Western Europe proved that the European continent has been conquested as early as 1.3 to 1,1 Mio years(finds of Atapuerca/ Spain) Early Pleistocene. The assignment of the oldest human finds at Atapuerca to a particular early human species as Homo erectus or Homo antecessor is still controversial. As controversially discussed is the earliest date of permanent colonization of Europe, and good dating of the high gravel terraces of southern French rivers is still lacking. So we suggest an estimated time frame of approx. 800.000 to 400.000 BC. Description: Size: length 14.6 cm, width 11,0 cm, thickness 6,2 cm, weight 1030 grams, ... moreShape. Retouch: a rare type of handaxe with respect to European sites(chisels are much more commonly found at African sites) and an amazing specimen. It is made on pebble. And facial flaking is mirrored. Each face has a cortical area at the right edge, the rest of the face is retouched. Facial flaking is significant on the face shown first, even with some edge flaking, while the other face presents only few large flake scars. Working edge at the distal end is wedge-shaped and straight(the edge between the two black lines in picture 7) and each face has a“chisel-blow” a flake scar struck from the distal end. Raw-material: a pebble out of grey quartzite. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces, Preservation: very well: the surface is somewhat weathered. But flake scars are well defined. Two small flat recent chips at the distal part of the left edge of the first face, while the scar at the edge in picture 2 seems to be genuine old. Additional Information.

Retouch: a fantastic and very interesting handaxe. Made on a large flake. Point of percussion is removed, it must have been somewhere at the proximal part of the left edge of the face shown in picture 3. The handaxe is of asymmetrical wedge shape, with a steep back at the right edge of the face shown first, and a cutting/ working edge opposite. The tip is pointed and triangular, with medial ridge on the face shown first. Facial retouch is made with broad flaking, mainly on the proximal part of both faces. The back is worked with broad and some finer flaking, and the thin working edge is wavy at the proximal part where the edge is trimmed, and straight at the distal part where no additional retouch was needed. This handaxe can be classified as cleaver-like specimen(the working edge being the thin long lateral edge) or as pointed specimen because of the very pointed pronounced tip, or as backed handaxe because of it’s thick steep back. Raw-material: a grey quartzite pebble. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces. Preservation: very well: two recent chips and some small surface abrasion at the distal part of the left edge of the fac

Retouch: ... morea fantastic quartzite chopper of wedge shape. With thick butt and thin straight working edge, retouched with broad and finer flaking up to the face of the chopper. What makes this tool so very special are the countless small stepped use-scars along the working edge, as well as some quite large ones on the interior side. Such well defined use-scars are rarely found on old tools, usually it is quite difficult to distinguish between man-made intentional retouch and use-scars. Left edge and butt are cortical, the right edge is broadly trimmed with at least one well defined flake scar. Raw-material: a grey quartzite pebble. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces. Preservation: very well: one small flat modern chip on the interior side. Of slightly different color than the old use-scars. There is still some matrix from the original site layer adhering to the surface, a wonderful proof of the tool and retouch being genuine old. Additional Information.

The one offered here is a special type and made on a pepple which has a roughly three-sided shape– two cortical ones with a rounded edge in the middle and the bellied retouched one. Retouch is made with broader and much finer flaking, many flake scars end in hinge fractures. The tip is wedge- shaped. The cortical sides have several splintered use-scars at the tip. Butt is also cortical except a genuine old scar which came into being naturally, this is no man-made modification. This type of pick is defined by Henry de Lumley(1971) as“Pic de Cresses” and is a subtype of the“pic sur diedre cortical” pick with cortical butt) defined by A. Tavoso 1975(see literature citation below. Both types are also described in Fiedler, 1985, zur Formenkunde, Verbreitung und Altersstellung altpalaeolithischer Geraete) Raw-material: a grey quartzite pebble.

Amazing Quartzite Handaxe - Chisel, Paleolithic, Lower Acheulian, 600.000 BC
Amazing Quartzite Handaxe- Chisel. Paleolithic, Lower Acheulian, 600.000 BC Description Type: handaxe: chisel on pebble Paleolithic Period. Industry: Lower Paleolithic. Lower Acheulian. Dating: archaeological research in Western Europe proved that the European continent has been conquested as early as 1.3 to 1,1 Mio years(finds of Atapuerca/ Spain) Early Pleistocene. The assignment of the oldest human finds at Atapuerca to a particular early human species as Homo erectus or Homo antecessor is still controversial. As controversially discussed is the earliest date of permanent colonization of Europe, and good dating of the high gravel terraces of southern French rivers is still lacking. So we suggest an estimated time frame of approx. 800.000 to 400.000 BC. Description: Size: length 15.8 cm, width 10,3 cm, thickness 5,2 cm, weight 1,110 kg, ... moreShape. Retouch: this fine handaxe can be assigned to the group of chisels because of it’s wedge-shaped distal end. Which has a“chisel blow” the negative scar of a long flake, struck from the distal end. The handaxe is an uniface, one side presents facial and lateral retouch, made with broad flaking, almost no fine lateral flaking is added. The other face is cortical except few small scars directly at the tip which are old use scars. The butt of the tool is flat with one large flake scar, to shorten the pebble, Raw-material: a pebble out of gray quartzite. The most common raw material on the gravel terraces of the Garonne river, Preservation: very well: the surface of the flaked face is somewhat weathered. But flake scars are very well defined. The tool has few small flat modern chips on the cortical side, which in no way detract from it’s value and beauty, Additional Information. Literature: The pebble tools found on the high gravel terraces of the Garonne river are among the earliest tools found in Europe! Lit: A. Tavoso.

Exceptional Pointed Quartzite Handaxe, Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC
Exceptional Pointed Quartzite Handaxe. Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC Description Type: pointed handaxe on pebble. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Lower Paleolithic. Lower Acheulian. Dating: archaeological research in Western Europe proved that the European continent has been conquested as early as 1.3 to 1,1 Mio years(finds of Atapuerca/ Spain) Early Pleistocene. The assignment of the oldest human finds at Atapuerca to a particular early human species as Homo erectus or Homo antecessor is still controversial. As controversially discussed is the earliest date of permanent colonization of Europe, and good dating of the high gravel terraces of southern French rivers is still lacking. So we suggest an estimated time frame of approx. 800.000 to 400.000 BC. Description: Size: length 15.1 cm, width 9,6 cm, thickness 4,4 cm, weight 710 grams, ... moreShape. Retouch: a rather large handaxe on a flat angular pebble. Retouch is confined to the most necessary parts. Just enough to design functional working edges, as typically found on early handaxes. Keeping this in mind, this is a handaxe with two very different working edges: first is the pointed end with a retouch on one face. Flaking is mainly broad. Second is the other end of wedge shape which is mainly retouched on the second face. This end looks very cleaver-like and was certainly used for just this kind of work. The lateral edges are different: one is a natural cortical angular back, only the tip is trimmed, the other one is thin and straight- good for cutting, Raw-material: a pebble out of gray quartzite. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces, Preservation: very well: the surface of the tool is weathered. Flake scars show wind polish(more than on other tools from the Garonne alluvial) but are still well defined. The handaxe has some small flat recent chips at the edges but in no way detract from the value of this outstanding handaxe, Additional Information.

Chopper - shopping tool - Lower Paleolithic-
Period: lower Palaeolithic(2.6Ma-300 ka) ORIGIN: Chaumussay- Indre-et-Loire( 37) FRANCE To create this tool. One would have to use a hammerstone to chip away flakes on the stone to create a side of the stone with a very sharp edge. Allowing for the cutting and hacking of an object. This is a unique type of d ue to only a single side of the stone being retouched to produce the cutting surface of the stone. The side that does not do the cutting is left unscathed. An unusual practice. These old instruments were made from specific materials. Initially, they were composed of quartz, quartzite, basalt, or obsidian. In the later years of the oldowan age, two other materials were used: flint and chert. These materials could hold an edge while fairly easy to craft into the shape desired. The tool is designed to fit in the palm of the hand, and it ... moreis not attached to any other mount that could possibly be used. Known as one of the earliest tools(if not the earliest) its design is a very simple piece of technology, but its performance was very successful in many different scenarios. Seeing the history of these objects and how many cultures used them, it is not a surprise to find spread throughout the world. A potential stone mass found today could be classified as a chopper if a worn edge showing signs of evidence of tool use is present. Weight: 1 lb 12 oz

Prehistoric Lower Paleolithic Acheulian Flint Tool Hand Axe - 800,000 BC
A remarkable prehistoric Acheulian handaxe. Produced by an individual of the species Homo erectus. A close ancestor to modern humans, around 800,000– 100,000 BC. These poignant artefacts are the only remaining link to our truly distant past, and serve as some of the earliest examples of mans unique desire to create and manipulate the word around him, in some senses, the earliest form of art itself. The flint an attractive caramel hue. And the distinctive teardrop form typical of Acheulian tools. This is a stunning, tactile example of a prehistoric handaxe. Worked with care and precision, this artefact has more than just a functional quality; the desire to create this pleasing form goes beyond the necessity of the object and suggests a sense of aesthetic on the part of the maker, a feeling to which we can relate. This sense of a shared perception ... moreof beauty is a remarkable link to the humanity of the individual who crafted this tool. Not only are Acheulean handaxes found over the largest area. But they were also produced over an unimaginably long period of time. The earliest known examples date to around 1.6 million years ago(in Africa) and continued to be produced until 100,000 years before the present day. As such, they represent the longest lived human technology that has ever existed, dwarfing the entire scale of human civilisation in comparison. Those found in northern Europe may well be from species ancestral to later Neanderthal populations. As periodic visitors to the far north-west of Europe. Communities of primitive man would have relied upon such tools for their very existence, using them to skin and butcher animals. In the harsh and dangerous world in which they existed, survival was a constant struggle; they were subject to the natural hazards of the environment in a way that is simply incomprehensible to us today. The individuals who used this tool, in some ways so similar to ourselves, would have been a part of nature, not distinct from it. The development of these early tools represents far mo

Amazing Pointed Quartz Handaxe, Stone Age Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC
Amazing Pointed Quartz Handaxe. Stone Age Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC Description Type: one-sided pointed handaxe on pebble. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Lower Paleolithic. Lower Acheulian. Dating: archaeological research in Western Europe proved that the European continent has been conquested as early as 1.3 to 1,1 Mio years(finds of Atapuerca/ Spain) Early Pleistocene. The assignment of the oldest human finds at Atapuerca to a particular early human species as Homo erectus or Homo antecessor is still controversial. As controversially discussed is the earliest date of permanent colonization of Europe, and good dating of the high gravel terraces of southern French rivers is still lacking. So we suggest an estimated time frame of approx. 800.000 to 400.000 BC. Description: Size: length 10.6 cm, width 6,7 cm thickness 2,6 cm, weight ... more260 grams, Shape. Retouch: an amazing handaxe on flat elongated pebble. It is a small. Almost delicate tool, especially in comparison to others from the same site. Only the most necessary retouch was made until a useable handaxe was ready. It is the distal part of both lateral edges and the tip which were retouched on one face, Raw-material: a pebble out of gray-green quartzite. The most common and typical raw-material at all sites on the Garonne terraces, Preservation: very well: no modern damages. The surface is somewhat weathered. But flake scars are well defined.

Retouch: an excellent very thin handaxe which looks at first glance as if it was made on tabular raw-material. But the cortical area at the butt proves that it is made on flake struck from a pebble. Both faces are retouched: the one shown first presents broad facial retouch as well as finer lateral retouch at the edges. The other face has a large flat area in the center which is not cortex, but nonetheless the natural surface of the pebble. Finer edge flaking is made at the edges, the tip and the butt.

The other face has the retouch at the proximal part of left edge and proximal end, as already mentioned. The wide cutting edge at the distal end is wedge-shaped, very typical on cleavers. It has fine splinted traces of use/fine retouch especially on the cortical face. Raw-material: a pebble out of gray quartzite. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces, Preservation: very well: the surface of the rock is weathered and edges rounded at some places where it must have been exposed to wind and weather for a very long time.

Exceptional Lower Paleolithic proto-Levallois flint core
Nice collection or borers, Exceptional very rare proto-Levallois flint core It is a tool from the famous site la Pointe-aux-Oies at wimereux. France. Hundred of choppers, chopping-tools, and some rare proto-handaxes were found at the base of a marine cliff, but the prehistorians never succeeded to date the site. They estimated that this lithic industry was close to the clactonian culture, by its method, but different by its tools characteristics. Some specialists think it could be the oldest site in Northern Europe and could have more than 700 000 years. This artefact is a flint core showing a preferential flake removed on the knapping surface prepared by four previous removals and by several removals made perpendicularly to this surface. This is exactly the same operational mode than in the case of The Levallois preferential flake technique. ... moreAs it is dated of the lower paleolithic, could we qualify this mode of Levallois or could we consider it as the ancestor of this technique?

North Africa LOWER PALEOLITHIC PERIOD(ACHEULIAN) 1.2 million- 500.000 years ago My father was working for haliburton in the sahara desert on the outskirts of algeria africa. I looked up alot of information on these artifacts and this hand axe is museum grade and valued around $1000 and up. It was found by my father while he was working there. The bottom is completely smoothe and flat This handaxe was made and used by early humans of the primitive species Homo erectus(ergaster) It was surface-collected from an exposed Acheulian site in the Sahara Desert of North Africa.
