Surviving artifacts of this period are known as paleoliths and were manufactured by early hominids, from Homo habilis and Homo erectus to early Neanderthal, all predecessors of our species, Homo sapiens. To hold one of these very ancient artifacts in your hand, to know that it was made hundreds of thousands of years ago by a primitive human species to aid in daily survival, is truly a humbling experience and a direct connection to our far distant past. No one knows exactly how many of these incredible artifacts actually exist or will ever be discovered, but one thing is certain... they are wonderful collectible artifacts while they are available!
This piece is 5" long, 3.25" wide, 1.5" thick and weighs 1 pound. It is in very good condition with a deep, rich patina, an age crack, and traces of desert sands. This is truly a meaningful piece of the history of mankind and a great prehistoric collectible artifact. I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for it, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible. As with all of my artifacts, it is Guaranteed authentic for life!

Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
