What is that, the neolithic precursor to a dha?
 I'm trying to decide whether it's stone or copper, or whether I'm totally clueless. Any hints? Fearn |

It is an Acheulean era hand axe or chopper found along the Omo river in Ethiopia (surface find). This is the same place were the oldest dated remains of Homo sapiens have been found, recently in the news because they were re-dated to 190,000 years ago, which I think 50 or 60,000 years older than originally thought. This piece was not even made by a modern human, but by Homo erectus, somewhere between 1.5 million to 200,000 years ago. |
