EARLY MAN ARTIFACTS 200,000 Y.O. Acheulean, Paleolithic, Clactonian, Swanscombe
This Early Man Tool Collection was given to me by my good friend. Ruth DeEtte Simpson. Ms. Simpson was a noted archaeologist and philanthropist. I am listing this collection with hopes that it will find a place where it will be protected and displayed so others can appreciate the manner in which our great ancestors survived and evolved. I do not have the knowledge to even try and explain what each of these tools are used for or how they were made. What I do know is that Ms. Simpson and her parents explored Europe and particularly England in the early 1900's Ms. Simpson's family was very wealthy as a result of Ms. Simpson's grandfather's discovery of oil and valuable minerals. The family traveled the world in search of information and artifacts that related to early man. From the small amount of information I do have. I would ... moresay that this collection was probably gathered near Essex, England. Folks that find their way to this auction site will most likely be connected to the tools by the time and effort that they expended to educate themselves about the evolution of man. I am not listing a few of the tools from this collection. I want to keep them for myself. I always want to be able to hold one of the tools in my hand so I can experience the feeling that always comes over me when I realize I am handling a stone that my ancestors used as a tool over 200,000 years ago. Most of the tools have ink marks on them to indicate where they were found. Unfortunately. Ms. Simpson misplaced the catalog years ago when she moved from one city to another. I will answer questions to the best of my ability.

EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description Outstanding wonderful Paleolithic( Paleolithic) large artefact of the late Homo Erectus Heidelbergensis and the Pre- Early) Homo Neanderthalensis- the Neanderthal Neandertal men from the Acheulean phase about 250.000- 200.000 years ago. The length of this great piece is 156 mms! The weight is around 1550 gramms! It is a kind of hand ax with typical crushing marks showing that this tool has been used as a hammer/ crusher! Acheulean( Acheuléen) industries is the term to describe the first standardized tradition of toolmaking of Homo erectus and early Homo sapiens. Named for the type site. Saint-Acheul, in Somme département, in northern France, Acheulean tools were made of stone with good fracture characteristics, including chalcedony, jasper, and flint; in ... moreregions lacking these, quartzite might be used. During the Acheulean period, which lasted from 1.5 million to 100.000 years ago, the presence of good tool stone was probably an important determining factor in the distribution of early humans. In the later stages they learned to bring stone from distant areas and thus became freer in their choice of homesites. Tool kits” that differ in tool types reflect the varying adaptations made by early Stone Age humans to different environments. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis is the species name given to a homo specimens that inhabited Europe and the Middle East. In 1856 Johann Karl Fuhlrott, a teacher and amateur naturalist, first recognized the fossil called“Neanderthal man” discovered in Neanderthal a valley near Mettmann in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Homo Neanderthalensis is a distinctive form of archaic Homo sapiens, with a long, flat, braincase(capacity 1200–1750 ccm) a retreating frontal, heavy brow ridge, and a projecting face with a large nose. Contrary to early reconstructions, Neanderthals were fully upright, but had stocky, muscular body build. Fossil evidence indicates Neanderthal characters evolved slow
