HANDAXE This large handaxe was excavate on the Kalambo Falls site in northern Zambia by Desmond Clark and dates to approximately 100,000 years ago. It was probably made with a soft hammer percussion flaking tool that might have been made of either antler, bone, ivory or wood. This hand axe was uniformly shaped along the edges by removing a large number of small flakes. It's made of quartzite and measures 9 1/2 inches (24.1 cm) long, 5 inches (12.7 cm) wide and 1 1/2 inches (3.2 cm) thick.
