This is an excellent set of STRUCK BLADE KNIVES. Made of flint, they both show classic features having been struck from a prepared blade core and then worked further into flake knives. By the Upper Paleolithic Period, struck blades such as this were a milestone invention in human tool technology! This rare flake tool set shows evidence of use and re-use. They were made by Cro-Magnon humans who once lived in what is the Vezere Valley of the famous Department of Dordogne, France, a major locale of Upper Paleolithic occupation in prehistory. Tools like this are specifically attributed to the Upper Paleolithic Period. An excellent collection set with traits only found on authentic specimens, mineral and sediment deposits throughout.
With this offer comes a RARE opportunity to acquire authentic artifacts from a well-known prehistoric region that is considered one of the most important regions of human prehistory in Europe - the Dordogne Region in France. This rare chance to acquire such objects will end when we sell out the limited number of specimens we have. Because collecting these artifacts has been off-limits for decades, genuine fine grade early man tools such as these, are most certain to continue to appreciate in value as time goes on.
No collection of Paleolithic tools would be complete without the inclusion of examples dating to the Upper Paleolithic Period. This was an era of many of the most famous human development milestones. In this period, the technology developing around the planet took place at slightly different times but globally, humanity was taking a huge turn for the better, and in overall unison. A new level of tool production and craftsmanship emerged unlike ever seen before. Modern humans first arrive on the scene and with them, they bring many new inventions - most notable is the concept of artistic expression as seen in the famous cave paintings that were only produced in this era.
