(4) Bonitos Artefactos Africanos Antiguos Puntos de Vástago Aterian Hombre Primitivo (30K-100K Años)

ATERIAN EARLY MAN POINTS. The Aterian industry was a type of stone tool manufacturing developed around the Atlas Region of the Northern Sahara Desert of Africa, today's Morocco & Algeria. It dates back to the Middle Stone Age (Middle Paleolithic) and was a development of the Mousterian culture, a tool technology usually associated with Neanderthals . Tools and weapons of the Aterian culture date back 30,000 - 100,000 years or more, with at least one Aterian site reported at 82,000 years old. Opinions differ, but it is generally accepted that Aterian tool technology was developed and used by early humans known as Archaic Modern Humans, contemporaries of Europe's Neanderthals. Crude stone tools and weapons had been made and used much further back in time, but the Aterian industry was the among the first to develop a stemmed point that could be mounted to a shaft and used as a projectile, as a dart, spear or arrow point. These fascinating ancient tools are quite rare and represent a milestone in early human development. 

This lot includes (4) points which are 1.5" to 2.25" in length. They are in very good condition with minor ancient damage and a rich, deep patina that only thousands of years of exposure to the elements can produce. These are great collectible prehistoric artifacts and direct connections to the development of humanity. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, although I often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, these are guaranteed authentic for life!
