Wonderful Neanderthal Flint Point, Stone Age Paleolithic Mousterian Europe
Wonderful Neanderthal Flint Point. Stone Age Paleolithic Mousterian Europe Description Type: laterally retouched point on flake. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Middle Palaeolithic/ Mousterian.

But we think it is a fine additional proof of authenticity of this tool, Additional Information. Literature: scrapers are among the oldest recognizable tool forms. Extending back into the Oldowan industries. They are the most frequently occuring tools in the European Middle Paleolithic and represent one of the most important aspects of variability among those assemblages. Scrapers are classifiable into many different types and, some types of scraper grade into, or are associated with, other types(i.e. points and denticulates) For more information see Debenath, Dibble, Handbook of Paleolithic Typology, Vol, I, chapter“scrapers” We have been listing four scrapers this week, different types, with different retouch. The selection should at least partly reflect the high variability of this important type of tool. Origin. Site: a famous Paleolithic site near the Dordogne valley. Dept.

55,000Y.O: ACE JASPIS CORE SCRAPER NEANDERTHAL MAN PALEOLITHIC MOUSTERIAN EUROPE
EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description Outstanding Middle Paleolithic( Paleolithic) stone artifacts of the Homo Neanderthalensis- the Neanderthal( Neandertal) men from the Mousterian phase about 40.000- 60.000 years ago. It is a core/ nucleus used for producing flakes! Length is 64 mms! Fantastic colored marble like jaspis( horn stone) The Mousterian industry appeared around 200.000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped ... morea rock into a rounded surface before striking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake(see photo at left) or they shaped the core as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages(basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool) Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the toolmaking process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole toolmaking industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool forms in the Mousterian industry display a wide range of specialized shapes. Cutting tools include notched flakes, denticulate(serrated) flakes, and flake blades similar to Upper Paleolithic tools. Points appear that seem designed for use in spears or
