Awesome Neanderthal Convex Quina Scraper. Flint Silex Quina Mousterian 70.000 BC Description Type: convex Quina scraper on Clacton flake. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Middle Palaeolithic. Quina Mousterian. Dating: approx. 75.000 to 65.000 B.C. Isotope stage 4, the first cold maximum of the last glaciation in Europe, where climatic conditions were harsh and extremely cold. Description: Size: length 7.1 cm, weight 44 grams, Shape. Retouch: an awesome. Quite large convex Quina scraper on Clacton flake with typical plain, very oblique platform remnant. 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. 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
