AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Finely retouched spear point, executed with balance and could have served as a spearhead or scraper. A typical product of Homo neanderthalensis. This point was made according to the Levallois technique. A revolutionary technique in which a core block was carefully prepared and from which one could strike off a perfect flake (with a typical triangular shape). The core (nucleus) was not used further.
