Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. An attractive Lower Palaeolithic flint scraper 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 small but thick flint flake with original cortex remaining on back face, clearly worked on the longest edge with several large flake removals and then further fine reworking to hone a scraping and cutting blade edge. A great old Palaeolithic coloration and shiny patination to worked surfaces, a pleasant and tactile example of an early flake tool, 55mm long x 60mm wide x 28mm thick
