The Time Frame series ... morewas released in the late 80's-early 90's. Each volume undertakes to describe the major events that happened in one specific time period in the development of mankind’s civilization(s) The volumes are richly illustrated. And designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like– their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there. The entire series is truly a magnificent introduction to the history of the era. If you could have just one book(or series of books) to introduce the history of humankind. This would have to be it. The overviews are concise and well-written. Together with the illustration and pictures they impart a wonderful mental and emotional“picture” of what life must have been like in various civilizations and at various times. Done in a style so wonderfully characteristic of Time-Life’s publications, these are over-sized“coffee table” type books full of impressive imagery. The pictures of the world’s greatest art and architecture alone are worth the cost of these books. But don’t get the impression that these volumes are“fluff” While a particular volume might not quite take the place as a university degree, the material is well-written, informative, and immensely intellectually gratifying, overview though it might be. This particular volume, Time-Frame 1500-600 B.C. is sub-titled“Barbarian Tides” The material is divided into a number of subjects which will give you an idea of the rich content; and i

axcellent Aurignacien straight flint scraper upper paleolithic ca. 35 000BC
The Aurignacien in Europe the first wide spread European culture of modern man. Also known as Homo sapiens sapiens or Cro-Magnon man, is the Aurignacian. At a time of around 35 000 years ago hunters and gatherers were creating what is considered to be the oldest art known to mankind. When one encounters traces of our earliest ancestors in Europe, they are mostly in the form of tools or hunting artifacts made from animal bones, flint, or other such resistant materials. Bones from hunted animals are seldom found, and the discovery of human remains is an extremly rare occasion. The discovery of ice age artworks anywhere is also a very seldom occurrence. Thus, the finds made on the Swabian Alb and in the French Pyrenees have been acknowledged as a true world sensation. Type: excellent flint straight scraper with wonderful dorsal flaking and terrific ... moredorsal edge retouching great patina and small rest of cortex excellent provenance Culture: Aurignacien Period: Upper Paleolithicum Material: flint Measure ca. 43 mm x 30 mm All the artifacts are from my own old collection We guarantee for the authenticity of our artefacts shipping costs: Shipping costs registered international delivery Combined shipping of multiple purchases is possible Please wait for payment instructions.

13000Y.O: WONDERFUL KEELED BLADE KNIFE DANISH STONE AGE LATE PALEOLITHIC FLINT
NORTHERN EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description"Keeled Blade- knife" This keeled blade is 79 mms long. Wonderful patinated flint with microfossil includings! Occurs in the late Paleolithic( Palaeolithic) Bromme Culture 11400-10500 bc. The Bromme culture and the Ahrensburg culture are so similar that they it has been proposed that the two cultures should be combined as one and the same under the label Lyngby culture. With the Bromme culture being recognized as an older northern branch of the same culture as the Ahrensburg culture. This culture is named after the Ahrensburg stream trench. To the north of Hamburg, where for instance the most important settlement, the Stellmoor, lies. In the old lake sediments below the settlement there has been found arrows made of pinewood, double-rowed harpoons ... moreand clubs made of antler. Ahrensburg settlements are known all over the flatland of North-western Europe from Eastern Germany to the Netherlands and Belgium. Ahrensburg arrowheads are often small and insignificant. Also the relatively slender flakes of the group, which has been hit off bipolar burins, is quite difficult to perceive in the field. In addition, the settlements are often small and lack finds and mostly situated high in landscape. In Denmark only one settlement has been excavated. Soelberg I. Sometimes the core from which the flake is split is carefully shaped and on one side has a keel formed by alternate flaking to both sides; thus the first blade to be struck off will have these flaking scars and be a so called keel blade. Provenance is an old collection. More details will follow the artifact. I guarantee absolutely for the authenticity of this artifact from the Hunter and Gatherer Stone Age.

35 nice Sahara Neolithic relics - tools, celt, beads, and 1 paleolithic tool.
This group of 35 Sahara Neolithic relics. PLUS one PALEOLITHIC Aterian tool, is composed of diverse types of relics, which were discovered on ancient habitation sites deep in the western Sahara desert, mostly in the vicinity of northern Muaratania/Mali but also includes two triangular'Eiffel Tower' points from Algeria. This group consist of several types of projectile points from varying periods of the Neolithic era. Including ovate, stemmed, triangular, and unifacial tool forms. In all there are 19 Neolithic stone projectile points and tools including: two early unifacial tools(seen at bottom and above the unifacial point also at the bottom) and one crecent blade. Also from the Neolithic there are also 12 small hard stone beads, drilled biconically as was the method, 2 partial pottery beads, one labret(thought to be used in body ... morepiercing/adornment) and one hard stone celt. At the upper right you will see an Aterian tool from the Sahara. This is the earlier known type of stone tool with a stem for hafting. Probably used to serve as a knife/scrapper. This tool is VERY old with weathered features and work around into a semi-circle. The point has been worked into a shape for cutting/scrapping and was probably a hafted scrapper rather than a spear point(possibly re-purposed) This type of tool was used during a wet period in the Sahara 40,000 to 30,000 years ago; this relic is 2 inches(53 mm) long.The Aterian culture disapperaed from the Sahara about 30.0000 years ago.

This is one of the more diverse offering of ancient Sahara relics you will find in one lot. The shortest point is 13/16th inch(20 mm) The longest tool is 2 1/16thh inches(53 mm) long.

Fine 6" Paleolithic Acheulean Early Man Axe, Prehistoric African Artifact
LOWER PALEOLITHIC(ACHEULEAN) EARLY MAN HAND AXE. The term Paleolithic was coined by archaeologist John Lubbock in 1865. It derives from the Greek palaios(old) and lithos(stone) Meaning O ld Stone Age, compared to the later Neo-lithic or New Stone Age. The Paleolithic Era is divided into 3 ages. The Upper(10,000 to 50,000 BP) Middle( 30.000 to 300,000 BP) and Lower(up to 2 million years ago) It is in the Lower Paleolithic that we find the Acheulean Tradition, which covers a time span of from 100.000 to over 1 million years before our present time. Surviving artifacts of this period are known as paleoliths and were manufactured by early hominids. From Homo habilis and Homo erectus to early Neanderthal, all predecessors of our species, Homo sapiens. To hold one of these very ancient artifacts in your hand, to know that it was made hundreds of ... morethousands of years ago by a primitive human species to aid in daily survival, is truly a humbling experience and a direct connection to our far distant past. No one knows exactly how many of these incredible artifacts actually exist or will ever be discovered, but one thing is certain.they are wonderful collectible artifacts while they are available! This piece is over 6" long. 3.25" wide, almost 1.5" thick and weighs 19 ounces. Other than an ancient ding on the bit, it is in very good condition with a nice patina and even some soil deposits. This is a meaningful piece of the history of mankind and a great prehistoric collectible artifact. I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for it, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible. It was found in the Sahara Desert of Northern Africa. As with all of my artifacts, it is Guaranteed authentic for life! FREE SHIPPING to the US. Shipping to Canada is $12.03. All other international will be $18.41.

Raw-material: bright grey patinated flint, Preservation: very well. No modern damages, Additional Information. Literature: Some characteristics of the Quina Mousterian ... moreindustry: 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 Neanderthal individuals were found, the most famous is"Homo 5" We have been listing more interesting paleolithic artifacts. Please have a look! Do you have questions?

70.000Y.O: 4 WONDERFUL ARTIFACTS NEANDERTHAL MAN JASPIS PALEOLITHIC MOUSTERIAN
EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description Outstanding Middle Paleolithic( Paleolithic) stone artifacts of the Homo Neanderthalensis- the Neanderthal( Neandertal) men from the Mousterian phase about 40.000- 60.000 years ago. It is a small collection of 4 fantastic colored jaspis( horn stone) artifacts! The Mousterian industry appeared around 200.000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped a rock into a rounded surface before ... morestriking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake(see photo at left) or they shaped the core as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages(basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool) Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the toolmaking process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole toolmaking industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool forms in the Mousterian industry display a wide range of specialized shapes. Cutting tools include notched flakes, denticulate(serrated) flakes, and flake blades similar to Upper Paleolithic tools. Points appear that seem designed for use in spears or lances, some including a tang or stub a
