From the collection of the estate gardener P. S. Petersen (1882-1964)
Söbysögaard Manor on the Island of Funen and on South Zealand.
This extrem rare Stone Age artifact is a
" Core unipolar, one-sided".
Occurs in the late Paleolithic Hamburg Culture
and the Ahrensburg Culture 13000-9000 bc.
Cores are blocks of flint which flakes have repeatedly been struck. In the more highly developed flaking technique the core is more frequently conical or cylindrical, though sometimes oblong, with striking platforms at one end (Handled Cores). Often the cores are carefully shaped before flaking begins. Good cores display parallel, fairly regular scars, in most instances all the way round.
Provenance is an old collection.
More details will follow the artifact.
I guarentee absolutely for the authenticity of this
artifact from the Hunter Gatherer Stone Age.
