Site occupied and dated to 65,000 to 57,000 years ago. A very large and unusual Paleolithic (Neanderthal) unifacial flint Chopper / Cleaver tool found many years back close to the now famous Paleolithic 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 Deers. 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]. Expertly fashioned from a huge external flake from a nodule of black and grey coloured flint, a well worked and defined main chopping blade at one end with a large concave removal on one side forming a huge notch, possible intentional to use for scraping wooden branches to remove twigs etc for making spears or possibly caused during manufacture. Natural curved end of flak forming a rudimentary handle for use. Other than side notch, totally intact and in very nice overall condition, with good surface ageing and a nice shiny patination to worked areas. Upper worked face still with original pebble cortex all over to enhance grip when being used. A huge and scarce Neanderthal hand tool from a notable site, 205mm long x 110mm wide x 40mm thick
