AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Middle Paleolithic Levallois flake made from chalcedony and found in the vicinity of Sguiet-El-Hamra, Western Sahara, Morocco. Made on the basis of a Levallois-type flake and further retouched. The revolutionary technique of Levallois-type flakes is a method in which a core block was carefully prepared and from which a perfect blade (with a typical triangular shape) could be struck off. The core (nucleus) was not used further.
Dimensions 107 x 47 mm
No restorations.
