ID:SDV322027
Title:The Palaeolithic and Mesolithic
Originator:Rosenfeld, A.
Date:1969
Summary:Roe has shown a generalised distribution of handaxe shapes, both ovate and pointed. Four cleavers, all narrow. Range probably affected by aesthetic preference of early collectors - eg the virtual absence of other typically Acheulian artefacts such as cores. Several flakes indicate the presence of fully developed Levalloisian tortoise core technique (citing Roe).
