EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of Quartzite cleavers and bifaces, brilliantly displayed in the Museum of Navarre in Pamplona, Spain. Dating back to the Middle Paleolithic or Mousterian period, around 90,000 to 35,000 BC, these ancient tools offer a fascinating glimpse into Europe's prehistoric past. The autonomous community of Navarra, located in the northern part of Spain, is renowned for its rich archaeological heritage. The Quartzite cleavers and bifaces discovered in Aranzadiya, Urbasa, are among the most significant finds in Navarrese prehistory. Bifaces, or bi-pointed tools, are characterized by their symmetrical points on both ends, while cleavers are large, flat tools with a sharp edge. These tools were essential for the Middle Paleolithic communities, serving various purposes such as butchering animals, preparing hides, and manufacturing other stone tools. The Quartzite used in these tools is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock, making it an excellent material for creating durable and sharp tools. The intricately crafted edges and smooth surfaces of these artifacts attest to the advanced skills and knowledge of the ancient craftsmen who created them. As we admire the beauty and craftsmanship of these Quartzite cleavers and bifaces, we are reminded of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. These tools, now preserved in the Museum of Navarre, serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the world.
