MIS 11 - c.424,000-374,000 years B.C. A scarce and excellent Early Paleolithic "Clactonian Industry" small flint "leaf shaped" spear point found many years ago at the famous Paleolithic site of East Farm Brick Pit, Barham, Suffolk and from an old Norfolk collection. Nicely fashioned from a thick flake of grey / brown flint with clearly worked, retouched and well defined edges and tip, an area of original pebble cortex remaining on one side. A nicely made example and probably from a small thrusting spear, so would have once been hafted into the end of a small wooden shaft using natural resins and sinew for use. Totally intact and in very nice condition with a most attractive "old Palaeolithic" surface ageing and colouration, plus a shiny patination to struck surfaces, a good example from a notable Paleolithic site, 53mm long x 34mm wide across blade edge x 11mm at thickest.
