Fine Handaxe - Cleaver, Paleolithic, Lower Acheulian

 

 

Description

Type: cleaver on flake

Paleolithic Period, Industry: Lower Paleolithic: Lower Acheulian

Dating: in Europe dated ca. 1200 to 400 ka. Very recent archaeological research in Western Europe proved that the European continent has been conquested as early as 1,2 to 1,1 Myr. – Early Pleistocene (on request more information will be given to our customers)

Description:

  • Size: length 10,6 cm, width 9,4 cm, thickness 3,8 cm, weight 370 grams
  • Shape, Retouch: a fine very typical cleaver on flake. Point of percussion is marked. The wedge-shaped distal end is cortical on the exterior side, the wide working edge is straight and sharp. There are two large flake scars on the exterior side, and both edges present little smaller lateral flaking. Please note: if this cleaver can be shipped as 500 grams box, we'll refund overpaid shipping!
  • Raw-material: a flake out of gray quartzite, with two attractive bright quartz bands
  • Preservation: very well: flake scars a very well defined, edges still sharp. One of the small flat scars at the cutting edge might be recent, otherwise no modern damages as far as can be seen.

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
