Object Description

A Clactonian flake skilfully crafted from flint. The original stone was modelled into a two-pointed flake, featuring an ergonomic, chunky trapezoidal shape, with a flat side and a domed reverse. The deliberately detached sections on the body and edges reveal the natural light brown striations of the stone. The old collection number and site of finding are written in black ink on the surface. As revealed from the note, this particular tool was recovered at the British site of Twydall.

Date: Circa 400.000 BC
Period: Lower Paleolithic.
