Some Upper Palaeolithic (UP) bits and pieces that I have found recently. The trouble with the UP stuff is that it lacks the beauty of bifacial hand axes; that you get from Lower & Middle Palaeolithic periods. It is also clumpy and lacks the sophistication of the Mesolithic & Neolithic. But despite its clumpy appearance, knowing that you are holding Neanderthal tools (and waste !!!) is quite special
The scrapper is one obvious tool and a couple are bifacial cleavers (albeit crude in appearance)
