c.200,000 to 100,000 BC. A nice Paleolithic Mousterian (Neanderthal) "Levallois Industry" flin hand axe found many years ago at Overstrand, Near Cromer, North Norfolk and from an old Norfolk collection. Clearly worked from a thick triangulated flake of attractive Honey coloured flint, in turn struck from the top of a large pre-prepared flint core (i.e.Levallois), smooth underside but clearly worked on upper surface to form the axe blade edges on either side with a raised medial plateau on the top featuring two natural indentations where the thumb of the right hand comfortably sits affording a good grip in use. Totally intact and in very good overall condition condition with good surface ageing and an attractive colouration and old patination. A well defined and appealing Early Neanderthal flint hand axe, approx. 79mm long x 70mm wide x 30mm thick
