1. Title: "Hand-Axes: Ancient Weapons and Tools of the Stone Age" 2.. This print showcases a fascinating collection of Hand-Axes, ancient artifacts from the Stone Age that served both as weapons and tools during the Pleistocene epoch, a significant period in the Quaternary and Phanerozoic eras. Dating back to the Middle Pleistocene, these Hand-Axes are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of early humans during the Palaeolithic era. Hand-Axes are characterized by their lower, sharp edges, which were expertly crafted from stone using techniques such as flint knapping. The intricate designs and symmetrical shapes of these tools reflect the advanced skills and knowledge of their creators. These versatile objects were used for various purposes, including cutting, scraping, and even as projectile weapons. The Hoxnian culture, which flourished during the Middle Pleistocene, is particularly known for its production of Hand-Axes. These artifacts have been discovered in various sites across Europe and Asia, providing valuable insights into the lives of early humans during this period. The Hand-Axes in this print are not only anthropological treasures but also works of art, showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. Their enduring presence serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of human civilization. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the world of the Stone Age and the remarkable Hand-Axes that shaped it.
