Fascinating evolutionary stage of proto-man interacting with nature to make stone tools 1.2 million years ago.
“Following the deposition of an accumulation of obsidian cobbles by a meandering river, hominins began to exploit these in new ways, producing large tools with sharp cutting edges,” Mussi and her colleagues said in the study.

My neighbour at No. 1 said he'd found a flint tool on a beach at Isle of Wight. So I said "you show me your tool and I'll show you mine". Mine is made of Andesite, picked up in the Cheviots on the way here from the coast. Neolithic People used to camp here from Howick on coast and hunt and fish in the summer. They must have used my garden as a workplace, that's where I found mine. I do think his is superior, being made of flint. So I now have tool envy. #archaeology #HandAxe

One of my ‘things’ is finding the lesser spotted #prehistory wherever I go. (Or #UrbanPrehistory - has anyone used that tag here yet I wonder) Anyway I didn’t know about the lovely collection of #handaxe s and #stone tools from Denmark in the amazing World gallery, #Horniman #museum #London.
Upstairs on the mezzanine if you want to find them. #archaeology Some fascinating #folklore also, coming next… -
