Europe, Acheulean tradition, found in Britain, ca. 1.6 million to 200,000 years ago. A fine, very large example of an Acheulean hand axe in the characteristic ovoid/pear shape, knapped from a red and ocher yellow chert. The Acheulean stone tool tradition, named after the location in France where tools of this kind were first identified in 1847, represented a revolution in stone tools. This was made by a homo erectus, a close ancestor of modern humans, and was made to be used in a variety of tasks - butchering and skinning game, digging in soil, and cutting trees and other plant matter. For much of human history, this was the dominant technology.
