AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eight firestone tools from the Neanderthal culture in France. This small collection includes, among others, scrapers, a very fine burin, and a knife. They were found in various municipalities (Bourdel, La Guerche, St.-Rémy, Le Grand Pressigny, Abilly: see comments on artifacts) in the French department of Indre-et-Loire.
Provenance
The collection was purchased in 2019 by D. den D. in Rotterdam, after which D.O. from Rotterdam was the owner. I purchased the tools in 2023 as part of a large collection of French prehistoric objects.
