Late Acheulean Handaxe |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The style of toolmaking known as Acheulean developed in Africa over 1.5 million years ago. It spread to Europe and Asia and continued for well over a million years, the longest period of any toolmaking tradition. Some of the most common Acheulean tools were large, symmetrical, teardrop-shaped handaxes, such as these two found in southeast England. | ||||||
