Aterian Tools
Above: Front of the Specimen Card
Tool making is a defining component in the evolution of human culture and sets us apart from the other creatures on the planet. Early in human history, in the middle of the Paleolithic, a new technological culture developed in North Africa: the Aterians. This group is known today for its advanced techniques and the differentiation of their tools. By studying what the Aterians left behind, we can learn much about how they lived.
Above: A selection of Aterian Tools. Note that sizes, shapes, and colors will vary.
This specimen is a complete Aterian tool as found in North Africa.
Each individual tool is presented inside a classic, glass-topped riker display case measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card is also enclosed that also serves as the certificate of authenticity.
Please Note: Color, size, and shape varies widely based on each individual stone. As might be expected with stone tools that are many thousands of years old, the condition will also vary as most have been worn over time.
