Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. A large and pleasant Lower Paleolithic "Mode 1" flint pebble hand axe / chopper found on the banks of the River Stour at Harkstead, Suffolk and from an old Suffolk collection. Well worked for such an early tool and fashioned from a large flat flint cobble of toffee coloured flint with original cortex remaining over much of its surface for grip and as is typical for "Mode 1" choppers, just a few major flint removals and some subsequent reworking forms the main chopping blade. An attractive old Palaeolithic coloration and shiny patination to all worked surfaces, a pleasant and appealing example of this very early Paleolithic tool, 90mm long x 74mm wide x 30mm thick
