Item Details

Description

Biface. TÃ©nÃ©rÃ© region, Lower Palaeolithic, 300000-100000 BC.
Stone.
Provenance: private collection, MÃ¨ziÃ¨res-lez-ClÃ©ry, France. Acquired by inheritance in 2022.
In good state of preservation.
Measurements: 18 x 11 x 3.5 cm.
Biface with a pointed or pointed area, lateral cutting edges and a more or less rounded base. This lithic tool -which was used to cut, scrape and perforate other animals- reveals how prehistoric humans were able to adapt, survive and prosper in such a difficult desert region as the TÃ©nÃ©rÃ©.
The TÃ©nÃ©rÃ© region is a desert area located in the centre of the Sahara, mainly in Niger, but also extending into parts of Chad, Libya and Algeria. Although it is one of the most arid and inhospitable regions in the world, the TÃ©nÃ©rÃ© has been inhabited by humans for millennia, as evidenced by its rich history and cultural heritage.
