Paleolithic - Very rare australopithecine pebble tool - Oldowan - 3 to 1.5 million years BCE. (No reserve price)

This very rare pebble tool belongs to the Oldowan technological tradition, attributed to early australopithecine hominins living between 3 and 1.5 million years ago during the Paleolithic era. These primitive tools, crafted by striking pebbles to create sharp edges, represent the earliest known stone tool technology used for cutting, chopping, and scraping tasks. Such pebble tools provide critical evidence of cognitive and motor skills development in early human ancestors and mark a significant evolutionary milestone in tool use. Their discovery offers a window into the adaptive behaviors and survival strategies of our distant predecessors.
