Description from the seller
The Capsian is a very interesting hunter-gatherer culture and is typical for North Africa. The culture persisted until the early Neolithic. This lot contains several typical points with very fine lateral retouch, but also a very large specimen (6.5 cm!) with extremely fine dorsal retouch. The artifacts come from Gafsa, Tunisia. This site, by the way, gave the well-known industry its name: Capsian. In perfect condition, without restorations or recent repairs. Each lot sold will be accompanied by an authenticity certificate. Dimensions: 65 x 29 mm.
The seller can demonstrate that the lot was legally obtained. The lot comes from a Belgian collection.
Important information:
The seller guarantees that he is entitled to ship this lot. He will ensure that any permits necessary for the shipment of this lot are arranged. If this takes more than a few days and if any specific costs apply, he will inform the buyer in good time.
