Description

This fascinating collection of over thirty flake tools from the Neolithic (10000 BC - 2200 BC) was found on June 3rd 1943 and August 4th 1944 by a D Woodhouse. Many of the flakes carry notation (initials and the date on which they were found). An accompanying label provides us with the collector's surname and the field in which the flakes were found - unfortunately, their handwriting at this point becomes harder to decipher, however, it could well be 'Turners field'. If you would like to read more about how these flake tools were made by Prehistoric man please follow this secure link to a page on the subject https://www.britannica.com/technology/flake-tool

Approximate measurement of the largest flake tool - 6cm high x 4cm wide

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
