Some of this years collection

First off i must apologise for not posting more of my finds while enjoying all you wonderful finds on this great site. My abilities with the camera are not as good as my ability to find some `rocks`. So two `sorries` to start with! The next 10 or so lithics i deem to be the same tool. they all have the same charactristics in my mind

As i havn`t posted anything in a while i am going to just go on trying to upload stuff as i am a bit rusty. ( i hope i dont make you angry/cry Hoss....please forgive me) I will edit as i go.

All of these lithics come from the same site, all within metres(yards) of each other. My finds are in England in the `old Thames estuary area` where the Thames used to flow before it was cut off in the last ice age,

It is interesting to see material from other areas of the world although I know nothing about lithics of that part of the world.

So, these are all Neanderthal hand tools ? Interesting to say the least. Do you have any thrust points Sir ? JJ

Possibly, but i have been told they may be older than that time frame. Although it is very hard to determine the exact age. An archaeologist friend of mine has said they could date to a much earlier period. Specifically some of my other finds (pebble tools etc.) i have posted have come from about four hundred thousand years ago when pre-humans (homonids-which is an open interpretation) first came to Britain in the First ice-age that occurred here.
