Description: Size: width 7.7 cm, length 4,6 cm, weight 95 grams, Shape. Retouch: a fantastic. Quite large transverse convex Quina scraper on thick, sturdy Clacton flake with typical large plain platform remnant. The scraper is made at the wide distal end with great steep stepped flaking, covering 2/3 of the edge, 1/3 has only 2 flat broad flake scars. The cortical area on the exterior side is concave, being a great grip. That’s why the proximal end end of the tool ... morehas a blunting(see picture 9) The dark right edge is a genuine old natural break of the flint with slightly rough surface. Raw-material: gorgeously creamy patinated flint with many marine inclusions. Which are the dark spots, Preservation: very well: the flint is somewhat soft and porpous due to desilification after deposition. Very typical for this site. The edges have some small rough spots/ abrasions, but the retouched scraper edge is flawless. Additional Information. Literature: Some characteristics of the Quina Mousterian industry: only little Levallois technique was used. But Clacton flakes were preferred, no handaxes were found in the assemblages, a very high percentage of scrapers with lateral, double, convergent, transverse as most common ones, and sometimes small very thin scrapers with a very fine stepped retouch. Preferred retouch was the stepped/ or Quina retouch, made with hard strikes first which produced broad, irregular flake negatives and secondary refining retouches directly at the edges in a second step. Origin. Site: the famous(eponymous) site of La Quina. Charente, France, excavated by Dr. Henri-Martin from 1905 to 1936. A total of 27 Neandertha

The scraper edge has a fantastic steep Quina retouch made in several steps from broad flaking to very fine edge flaking. The left edge is a natural back, the edge is significantly thinned and blunted on the interior side(picture 9) Raw-material: marbled gray patinated flint, Preservation: very ... morewell. We think it is without modern damages! The irregularity at the proximal part of the scraper edge(picture 7) is caused by a genuine old flake scar, struck from the proximal end before the retouch at the scraper edge was made. And even the dark concave flake scar at the distal end(shown in pic. 8) seems to be genuine old, the dark color should be part of the patination pattern. But if any, then this could be the only recent small chip on this awesome tool. Additional Information.
