Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. A good 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 nice flint cobble of amber coloured flint with original cortex remaining over much of its surface for grip and as is typical for "Mode 1" choppers, just a few large strikes to one end to form the characteristic "S" shaped main chopping edge. An attractive old Palaeolithic coloration and patination, a pleasant example of this very early Paleolithic tool, 72mm long x 65mm wide x 30mm thick
