AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Finely worked pointed tip, a typical product of H. Neanderthalensis. This tip was made using the Levallois technique. A revolutionary technique in which a core block was carefully prepared and from which a perfect flake (with a typical triangular shape) could be struck off. The core (nucleus) was not used further.
