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.

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.

Terrific Quartzite Cleaver - Handaxe, Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC
Terrific Quartzite Cleaver- Handaxe. Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC Description Type: cleaver(handaxe) 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. 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 10.3 cm, width 8,6 cm, thickness 3,7 cm, weight 370 grams, ... moreShape. Retouch: a terrific. Very typical cleaver on a type of flake which in particular was produced and used for cleavers. In this case, flaking direction is crossways to the long axis of the tool, see point of percussion in the picture of the interior side. The tool is wedge-shaped whith thick proximal and thin distal end(Cutting, working edge) This edge has fine use-scars on the interior side. The left lateral edge has some fine retouch, and, very interesting, the exterior side is thinned with one large strike, see the flake scar on the right part of the exterior side. Butt and right edge are cortical. Raw-material: a flake out of gray quartzite. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces, Preservation: very well. The surface is somewhat weathered. But flake scars are well defined. One tiny flat flea-bite at the distal end, almost invisible. Additional Information. Literature: The pebble tools found on the high gravel terraces of the Garonne. Tarn and Aveyron river are among the earliest tools found in Europe. Lit: A. Tavoso, Le Paléolithique supérieur et moyen du Haut-Languedoc, Paris 1978. Origin.

The center artifact is 4.5" x 3" All three are part of a collection given to me 38 years ago when I was in college. Percussion flaked from chalcedony. The original owner must have taken great pride in their artistry. The collection belonged to an old gentleman. Now dead, who shared with me that his"finds" had come from the Mojave Desert east of Barstow. CA when he was actively collecting in the 1930's. All were found above the old 1780 ft shoreline of now vanished Lake Manix which once filled the basin. In 1976 I took the ... morecollection to the San Bernardino County Museum to authenticate the pieces. Ruth DeEtte Simpson. The County Archaeologist confirmed for me that these stone tools were definitely Lake Manix Lithic Industry artifacts of the Mojave Desert. She went on to say that they appeared to be identical to surface finds on desert pavements in the area of the Calico Hills Archaeological Site near yermo. In which Dr Louis Leakey was Project Director. Dr Leakey shared with"Dee" that the artifacts found in the Mojave looked just like those found in East Africa. Dee Simpson went on to say to me that these pieces were of an origin a minimum of 10.000 years in age.most likely ranging upwards to 19,000 years in age. Unique scarce collectibles!

Prehistoric Lower Paleolithic Acheulian Flint Tool Hand Axe - 800,000 BC
A remarkable prehistoric Acheulian handaxe. Produced by an individual of the species Homo erectus. A close ancestor to modern humans, around 800,000– 100,000 BC. These poignant artefacts are the only remaining link to our truly distant past, and serve as some of the earliest examples of mans unique desire to create and manipulate the word around him, in some senses, the earliest form of art itself. The flint an attractive caramel hue. And the distinctive teardrop form typical of Acheulian tools. This is a stunning, tactile example of a prehistoric handaxe. Worked with care and precision, this artefact has more than just a functional quality; the desire to create this pleasing form goes beyond the necessity of the object and suggests a sense of aesthetic on the part of the maker, a feeling to which we can relate. This sense of a shared perception ... moreof beauty is a remarkable link to the humanity of the individual who crafted this tool. Not only are Acheulean handaxes found over the largest area. But they were also produced over an unimaginably long period of time. The earliest known examples date to around 1.6 million years ago(in Africa) and continued to be produced until 100,000 years before the present day. As such, they represent the longest lived human technology that has ever existed, dwarfing the entire scale of human civilisation in comparison. Those found in northern Europe may well be from species ancestral to later Neanderthal populations. As periodic visitors to the far north-west of Europe. Communities of primitive man would have relied upon such tools for their very existence, using them to skin and butcher animals. In the harsh and dangerous world in which they existed, survival was a constant struggle; they were subject to the natural hazards of the environment in a way that is simply incomprehensible to us today. The individuals who used this tool, in some ways so similar to ourselves, would have been a part of nature, not distinct from it. The development of these early tools represents far mo

Gorgeous Quartzite Cleaver Handaxe, Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC
Gorgeous Quartzite Cleaver Handaxe. Paleolithic Lower Acheulian 600.000 BC Description Type: handaxe: cleaver 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. 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 9.6 cm, width 8,0 cm, thickness 4,3 cm, weight 395 grams, ... moreShape. Retouch: a gorgeous cleaver on flake with thick proximal and rather thin distal end. The flake is struck with the Clacton technique. Platform is small and has an angle greater than 105 degrees to the interior side. The tool has the typical cleaver retouch– a significant thinning at the left edge of the interior side, and a retouch along the straight distal end. The other lateral edge and the butt are cortical, Raw-material: a grey quartzite pebble. The most common raw-material on the Garonne terraces. Preservation: very well: few small. Flat recent chips at the edges, which in no way detract from value and beauty of this early cleaver, Additional Information. Literature: The pebble tools found on the high gravel terraces of the Garonne. Tarn and Aveyron river are among the earliest tools found in Europe. Lit: A. Tavoso, Le Paléolithique supérieur et moyen du Haut-Languedoc, Paris 1978. Origin. Site: high gravel terrace of the Garonne. South of Toulouse, southern France.
