AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Quite large and finely worked spear point, well balanced. It could have served as a spearhead or scraper. This spear point was made using the Levallois technique, a revolutionary method where a core was carefully prepared, allowing a perfect flake (with a characteristic triangular shape) to be struck off. The core (nucleus) was not used further.
Originating from Western Sahara.
