Peter Reynaers

Large and very nice chopping tool made of quartzite. It is believed that both the core and the pieces that were cut off were put to use. In this case the tool has been nicely worked towards a point in the middle and it sits perfectly in the hand. Chopping tools were made by an early form of Homo Erectus.
