Length: 75 mm Width: 60 mm Weight: 166 grams grams This stone tool is part of my own personal collection found over the years. This tool was found whilst field walking in the Northfleet(Springhead) and Southfleet area of Kent. Please see provenance details below. This implement was found close to the Roman town of Vagniacae at Northfleet in Kent. This area borders the famous Palaeolithic site at Swanscombe, which is around a mile away. The area where this implement come from has been subjected to much disturbance through road building. Channel Tunnel High Speed Rail Link and other commercial building. It is more than likey that the implement had been disturbed ... morethrough this construction activity. I was initially looking for Iron Age and Roman pottery sherds. However, it was whilst picking up pottery that I began to notice shaped implements of a mucher greater age and so began collecting those as well. It soon became my main interest and have been field walking ever since. It is a fantastic feeling to find such an implement. Firstly spotting a knapped edge in the soil and then the thrill of being the first to hold it in many thousands of years. It has been a pleasure finding and owning such an implement. However it is now someone elses chance to own it. 281g_gsrx_vers_526(GS 6.6.6(526)

The Clactonian culture is named after a superb collection of prehistoric material found on a site ... moreclose to Clacton-On-Sea in Essex. England. At Swanscombe. Kent the deposit known as the Lower Gravels contained distinctive Clactonian style tools. Suggesting that a Clactonian tribe had established a riverside campsite in the area over 400,000 years ago. It is not known exactly when human groups first made their way into what is now Britain. But it was probably around 450,000 years ago. This tool was made by Homo heidelbergensis. Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species of the genus homo which lived in Africa, Europe and western Asia from at least 600,000 years ago, and may date back 1,300,000 years. First discovered near Heidelburg in Germany in 1907, it was described and named by Otto Schoetensack. It survived until about 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. Neanderthals Denisovans and modern humans are all descended from Homo heidelbergensis. Between 300.000 and 400,000 years ago, an ancestral group of H. heidelbergensis separated themselves shortly after they had left Africa. One group branched northwest into Europe and West Asia, which eventually evolved into Neanderthals. The other group ventured eastwards throughout Asia, eventually developing into Denisovans.
