Levallois technology is remarkably sophisticated. To the untrained eye, the flakes can appear crude, but their manufacture and form is genius. You need careful planning and precise strikes to remove a flake which is uniformly thick, structurally stable and razor sharp along the entirety of its perimeter. It's little wonder the Neanderthals were so successful with such effective and versatile tools.
There was a time when that sound could have been herd echoing out of a distant valley. In those times, the closest nuclear power plant was 93 million miles away. And the pyramids wont be built for at least another 45,000 years. Thank you for uploading, this is an awesome video.
this is perfect and so didactic for prehistoric archaeology students. thank you. I want to watch your another chipped tool activity.. with my best wishes.
This truly demonstrates the technological capabilities of both Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens. Really makes you wonder how these early peoples would've experimented with both Levallois and pressure flaking tools.
Straordinario manufatto,la nostra vera identità. Quello che eravamo milioni di anni fa,oggi è ricerca studio per gli appassionati! Molto interessante il vostro canale, un caro saluto! 🙏👋
each blow was done with excellent technique and finesse every step of the way with precision and absolute control of the core. it wasn't reckless or barbaric and the skill with the hammer stone is perfection. whoever this is he is a master knapper i am even tempted to say this is Jacques pelegrin but other than that this is flint knapping at its best.
interesante video...acá en argentina donde vivo he encontrado lascas similares a este tipo muy cerca de mi casa. En algunas se observa el indicio de percución
Nicely done. Slow and easily observable plus with no narrative much like one with no skill watching someone will skill chipping until the final blow was struck and the finished flake released. A " See? This is how you do it. " all in carefully laid out slow steps to show the learner.
