旧石器时代 燧石 Hand axe (没有保留价)

这件复制的 Acheulean 部分削制手斧由专业燧石敲击师 James Francis 在 Prehistoric Crafts 制作—— Creswell Crags 的常驻敲击师。受下石器时代早期手斧的启发，手斧尾部留有原皮层，以保留燧石表面数百万年的包浆，类似 West Tofts 手斧。These aesthetic choices represent the dawn of artistic thinking in early hominins.
Gathered from the white cliffs of Dover, the stone has been worked only with prehistoric methods and tools, including alternate flaking and red deer antler soft percussion.

By 500,000 BP, Acheulean hominins were living what is now southern Britain, most notably at Boxgrove in West Sussex, which preserves the best-preserved Late Acheulean handaxe-making localities so far discovered. Acheulean handaxes are found widely across the southern UK, and this reproduction grants a unique view of what these real palaeolithic hand axes would have looked like the day they were made. From this perspective, reproduction stone tools are critical in our understanding of the archaeological and human past.
