Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. A good Lower Paleolithic pointed flint hand axe 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 triangulated thick flake of toffee coloured flint with original cortex remaining on much of the upper surface, bifacially worked and clearly worked down each side to form a well defined functional point. Some gentle water smoothing making this axe a rather tactile piece, great old Palaeolithic colouration and shiny patination to worked surfaces, a pleasant example of a very early hand axe, 105mm long x 68mm wide x 42mm thick
