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
