Product Description
Cromerian - Anglian Interglacials c.MIS 17-13, c.712,000 - 524,000 BC. A good group of 3 x Early Lower Paleolithic flint core / flake tools from the famous site at Pakefield, Suffolk. [Pakefield is one of a just couple of sites on the East Anglian coast that has yielded definitive and scientifically dated proof for the earliest habitation by Prehistoric Man in the entirety of the U.K. Finds at Pakefield in recent years have now pushed back proven Hominid occupation by some 200,000 years further to in excess of 700,000 years B.C. and as such Pakefield is now considered to be one of the most important Prehistoric habitation sites in the U.K.] This group includes 3 x core / flake tools in the attractive dark black flint so synonymous with the earliest tools found at Pakefield and range in size from 76mm to 55mm in size. All have good surface ageing and a pleasant shiny patina to all worked surfaces. A cheap study or retail group of very early core / flake tools from a very notable Prehistoric site.
