Item Details
Description
Palaeolithic, 350000-250000 BC. A mixed group comprising: a triangular bifacial handaxe in grey-brown flint with small area of original cortex, formed from a large flake, with remnants of old collector labels; a substantial bifacial handaxe of most unusual form, the butt being hollowed (so as to give the visual appearance of a giant 'arrowhead' of later eras), this probably resulting from the inclusion weakness in the original flint core, in a brown-grey flint with inked 'Thames' findspot reference. 434 grams total, 11-13.5cm (4 1/4 - 5 1/4"). From an old Hampshire collection; the second labelled as from the River Thames. TimeLine Auctions Ltd arranges printed catalogue rostrum Auctions, eAuctions and Timed Auctions where we offer antiquities, ancient artefacts / artifacts, antiques, collectibles, coins, medals and books for public sale.
