Description
ACHEULIAN HANDAXE (1 - 1.5 million BP): The Acheulian technological industry is one of the most widespread industries geographically, beginning approximately 1.75 million years ago in Eastern Africa, and traveling to as far as Northern France and Southern China. Acheulian handaxes are versatile tools that are made by striking flakes off of a core to develop the shape, and associated with Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis. This example shows wind polish, probably from millennia of exposure to wind-blown sands.
