All these clips are of artefacts from the same collection in the Pleistocene Thames valley,now the Colne Valley Herts. This is a strange tool that would seem perfect for tree cutting large trees possibly to make boats...so much easier than using tiddly little handaxes and choppers! It is a large shaped quartzite (much tougher than flint and used for heavy duty work) that is anvil shaped with an aerodynamic rounded base,weighing about 100 kilos and has a beautifully symetrical cutting edge at each end.one end has a four sided point that would make a vertical cut while the other end has a perfectly double sided tapering on both the sides and top and bottom leading to a 6 inch chisel blade that would make a clean horizontal cut. in the side of the artefact there is a hole with a split pebble wedged in with a clear groove above the hole suggesting wet twine had been used,the pebble to hold it in place when it expands,and by tying it with twine and guide ropes,it would have been hoisted into the lower branches of large trees (or possibly with an A frame) and by utilising gravity and the weight of the tool,been used to fell large boats possibly for making boats? I actually have found TWO of these tools,the other one is shown briefly at the end of this clip,it also weighs about the same,has a rounded aerodynamic base,a hole in the side,evidence of tie marks,pitted holes in the top and a chisel end.....only one end used on this one and it looks well used whereas the first is more technical,finer characteristics (like the tapering to stop the tool becoming embedded in the trunk too deeply) and looks much less used. It makes so much sense to use large heavy tools to utilise gravity for difficult,heavy duty work such as tree felling or boat making and quartzite,although not a local material,is the best quality stone available for such work and may well have been brought here...probably by boat,it would have been too heavy to carry. nothing like these has been identified before on any site of any age and this is typical of the technologies found on this site...see my website www.colnianman.com for more and please check out my other youtube clips...there is just SSOOOO much here most archaeologists are put off even looking,its just too far beyond their comprehension...let alone the Paleo map I have featured on the website showing the coastlines and river systems of all of western Europe and Africa! This is a museum piece,as are several other amazing,unknown yet quite possible technolgies made by colnian Man whatever age he was here...I believe this site dates from the earliest period of human occupation of Britain up to a million years ago but as of yet,british archaeologists and AHOB in particular have been extremely lax,negligent and indifferent to actually coming to the site to do the neccessary tests and analysis to confirm dating...they just dont have the "machinery" or imagination to even perceive the potential intelligent of the makers of these tools,Colnian Man from the shores of the Pleistocene Thames...indeed,its only in the last 15 years or so that they acknowledged humans WERE in England before the Anglian Ice Age (Boxgrove 475,000 K years ago) although their knowledge gleaned from Pakefield and Happisburgh is still extremely limited to say the least.....and they remain ignorant of current finds as they refuse to investigate further in what is known to be a likely area of lower Palaeolithic occupation.....what archaeologists call as rare as rocking horse shit! Some of the tools and artefacts found here are undoubtably world firsts and may take time to be verified as scientists accept change reluctantly but I have no doubt that Colnian Man achieved a level of knowledge as evidenced by the artefacts he left behind,that superceded ANY other prehistoric human group....he could drill into stone,he could make fire,he could make hafted tools,he could make artistic representations,he could make boats,he created tools unlike anywhere else and most uniquely of all,he created an accurate,detailed,well charted map of Europe right down to the south of Africa with all the major river systems,lakes and coastlines in fine detail.....in the eyes of most archaeologists an "impossible feat" but please,check out the website and see for yourself!, www.colnianman.com
