Product Description
MIS13 - MIS11 c.531,000 to 420,000 B.C. An unusual Lower Palaeolithic "Dual-notched" flint scraper tool 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 thick brown flint flake with original pebble cortex remaining on much of the tool to aide grip in use. This unusual flint tool has been bi-facially worked at its functional end to form two distinct, small but well defined concave notched blades and would most likely have been used for working fine wood, bone or antler items. A nice shiny old patina to worked surfaces, a sizable and very unusual Palaeolithic flint tool, 85mm long x 60mm wide x 35mm thick
