This authentic stone tool was fashioned by Neanderthals over 40,000 years ago out of flint and collected from a former Neanderthal occupation site in France, considered to be the "Capitol of Prehistory".  The site this specimen was excavated from is now closed and protected by the government.  The fact that this archeological site is off-limits to any collecting, makes this wonderful stone tool artifact exceedingly rare and desirable!    Because collecting these artifacts has been off-limits for decades, genuine fine grade Mousterian Neanderthal tools such as this specimen are most certain to continue to appreciate in value as time goes on.

This Neanderthal flint tool is classified as a BACKED KNIFE.  A sharp curtting edge can be seen on one side with a flat portion on the opposing side that was made for comfort when pushing down with an index finger during use.  Cutting edge is complete as made and shows prehistoric evidence of use.  It has intact mineral deposits and heavy light gray patina on the flint surfaces and hinge fractures to testify to its authenticity and lack of any modern alterations.  A superb example from this Neanderthal world region!  NO RESTORATION, REPAIR OR MODERN DAMAGE.
