Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. A good Lower Paleolithic "Mode 1" flint pebble chopper found on the banks of the River Orwell at Nacton, Nr.Ipswich, Suffolk and from an old Suffolk collection. Well worked for such an early tool and fashioned from a nice large flint cobble of a most attractive banded, multi-coloured flint with original cortex remaining over much of its surface for grip and as is typical for "Mode 1" choppers, just a few large strikes to one end to form the characteristic "S" shaped main chopping edge. An attractive old Palaeolithic colouration and patination, a lovely example of this very early Paleolithic tool, 96mm long x 80mm wide x 38mm thick
