	human portrait carved 200,000 years ago
		The anthropomorphic sculptures of the lower Paleolithic, of every type, but in particular those like this of Borzonasca, that are "intentional"portraits, would have to be object of study by the paleoanthropologists, in how much the data that can be found are numerous.
		The sculpture of Borzonasca is the typical two-faced anthropomorphic sculpture of the final phase of the lower Paleolithic, that is the final Acheulean or perhaps the final Clactonian, called also evolued.
		It is a typology that has been found plentifully in smaller sculptures in silex, with techniques of working and patina, in all similar to tools in silex, with have been found associated together, and of which the dating by typology is possible.

		This may be indicative of the band-size of the Clactonian group that exploited the carcass.
		The flint artefacts are typical of the Clactonian industry, comprising cores, large utilised flakes and notched flakes.
		This confirms that the Clactonian is a genuine phenomenon in the Lower Palaeolithic, which some, strangely, have doubted, despite the manifest evidence to the contrary.

	Archaeology: The Lower Palaeolithic Age \| British History Online
		From the evidence provided by the Barnfield Pit sequence, it is clear that during the early part of the Mindel/Riss Interglacial there was a Clactonian industry, followed by a Middle Acheulian, which in turn was followed by a later stage of Acheulian, but all three within the same Interglacial.
		From the former came a Clactonian industry, possibly slightly later typologically than that of the Lower Gravels of Swanscombe and the buried Channel at Clacton-on-Sea, and from the latter fauna which suggests a stage within the same (Mindel/Riss) Interglacial as the Swanscombe Gravels.
		The first consists of slightlyrolled flakes which are similar to the Clactonian series from the Lower Gravels at Swanscombe, and the second is a group of slightly-rolled hand-axes which belong to the same Middle Acheulian as the Middle Gravels at Swanscombe, and the Lower Boyn Hill series from Furze Platt and Lent Rise.

	plus613 - culture in the blender - straight tusked elephant
		The Middle Palaeolithic is associated with the development of Neanderthals and increasingly sophisticated flake-tool based lithic technology (Levalloisian and Mousterian), alongside one distinctive form of handaxe, the bout coupé.
		The elephant skeleton is surrounded by a scatter of refitting flint debitage and (to-date, excavations are still in progress) six cores.
		This confirms that the Clactonian is a genuine phenomenon in the Lower Palaeolithic.

		These cultural traditions are known as the Clactonian and the Acheulian.
		The Clactonian Culture is named after a superb collection of Prehistoric material found on a site close to Clacton-on-Sea in Essex.
		Members of the Clactonian tribe made distinctive tools from flint flakes struck from larger nodules ('cores') of flint.

	parallel civilizations middle paleolithic
		In this website we have abolished the middle Paleolithic, and have merged the Mousterian to the end of the recent Acheulean and Clactonian, between 200.000 and 40.000 years ago, also often citing the middle Paleolithic, that is always a habitual point of reference for the immediate location of the chronology.
		1) Increase of the dimensions of the sculptures from the recent Acheulean and Clactonian to the Mousterian.
		3) Increase of the variety of combinations in the composition of two-faced anthropomorhic sculptures, between the Acheulean, the Clactonian and the Mousterian.

		Some of the caves in this region are well-known for their Pleistocene record.
		For example, not far from Edera is the well known cave of Visogliano which has Middle Pleistocene fauna and lithic industries described by the excavator as 'Clactonian'.
		Grotta dell'Edera was first documented in 1969 during a detailed survey of the caves in this particular area of the karst.

		Controlled excavations at Clacton-on-Sea, Hoxne and Swanscombe have revealed levels containing both Clactonian and Acheulian flint industries in primary contexts.
		The Clactonian appears to run from the latter part of the Anglian to at least the Early-temperate zone of the Hoxnian (Ho IIb).
		Acheulian first appears at Hoxne in Ho IIc, close in time to the Clactonian; the Acheulian users may have infringed Clactonian territory.

		Now that a second major site has been found, it suggests that the "Clactonian" culture was more important than previously thought.
		Professor Chris Stringer, director of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project and a palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, said "This is extremely important.
		Hand axes have also been found in more recent archaeological layers suggesting that ultimately they replaced the Clactonians and their smaller tools.

		Lower layers of the Barnfield Pit revealed an even older, more primitive form of man living at Swanscombe earlier than 250,000 BP.
		The tribe was named Clactonian Man. The most common tool found at Swanscombe is the hand-axe.
		These were not common, everyday axes found in the local hardware shop, but very crude, simple tools.

		Reiterates the view that 'Clactonian flakes' are not confined to the Clactonian industry of S England, but were a regular product of debitage in most Palaeo technologies.
		It is suggested that this is relevant to any discussion of the relationship between Clactonian and Acheulian industries.
