Item Details
Description
85,000-40,000 B.P. A very fine jasper scraper showing machining marks and user retouch. 28 grams, 61 mm (2 3/8 in.) Fontmaure location, France. Collected by archaeologist P. Huisman, with permission of the landowner, before 1980. Private Shropshire, UK, collection, 2020. Fontmaure is situated in the hills and valleys of North Poitou, near the old village of Vellèches in the Department of the Vienne. It is a Palaeolithic settlement of outstanding importance, between a North West and South West culture region. Artefacts from Fontmaure have been dated to at least 40,000 years old and are classified as from the Chatelperronian and Mousterian era, having been fashioned by the Neanderthal people. One of the unique published finds of Fontmaure is the very beautiful and unique jasper which is only found here and is primarily red and yellow. [No Reserve]
