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.

Fantastic Quartzite Handaxe, Lower Paleolithic Lower Acheulian approx 600.000 BC
Fantastic Quartzite Handaxe. Lower Paleolithic Lower Acheulian approx 600.000 BC Description Type: handaxe. Cleaver-like specimen on flake. 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.

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 BP. Description: Size: length 15.4 cm, width 8,6 cm, thickness 5,8 ... morecm, weight 715 grams, Shape. 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: the pick is a subtype of handaxes with pointed tip. Thick and often angular cross-section, designed for crude perforating and not for cutting. 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.

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.

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.

Fantastic Quartzite Cleaver Handaxe, Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC
Fantastic Quartzite Cleaver Handaxe. Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC Description Type: handaxe: cleaver on flake. 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 BP. Description: Size: length 11.0 cm, width7,1 cm, thickness 4,1 cm, weight 325 grams, ... moreShape. Retouch: a fantastic cleaver on flake. But point of percussion is removed, it was somewhere at the lower left edge/ proximal end of the face shown second. The exterior side shown first presents broad lateral flaking at both edges, and some finer flat, stepped edge flaking at the the right lateral edge. The butt has a stepped retouch. 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. But flake scars are still well defined. Few of the tiny flat scars at the cutting edge seem to be recent, and there are two, also flat scars at the butt. They do not detract from value and beautyof this excellent cleaver, Additional Information. Literature: The pebble tools found on the high gravel terraces
