Product Description
Site occupied and dated to 65,000 to 57,000 years ago. A pleasant Palaeolithic (Neanderthal) flint flake knife tool found many years back close to the now famous Palaeolithic Neanderthal habitation site of Lynford Quarry, Norfolk.[This famous and well documented site sat on the edge of an ancient channel of water where Neanderthals thrived and hunted. When excavated many years back, hundreds of flint tools were unearthed alongside thousands of butchered bones and teeth of Mammoths, Woolly Rhinos and Deer. The quarry is now a nature reserve owned by English Heritage so tools can no longer be unearthed here, so this is a rare opportunity to obtain a good Neanderthal flint tool from a notable site]. Fashioned from an outer flake of dark & light grey flint, largely smooth underside, pebble cortex over much of the upper surface and then well worked along two edges to form distinct functional cutting / sawing blade edges. Intact and in very nice overall condition, with good surface ageing. A pleasant example of a Neanderthal Flake knife from a notable site, 93mm long x 68mm wide x 23mm at thickest (grip end)
