Before the introduction of the bow and arrow in the northern hemisphere...You are bidding on one (1) percussion flaked handaxe, part of a collection given to me 37
years ago when I was in college. The collection belonged to an old
gentleman, now dead, who shared with me that his "finds" had come from the
Mojav...e Desert east of Barstow, CA when he was actively collecting in the 1930's. In 1976 I took the collection to the San Bernardino County Museum to
authenticate the pieces. Ruth DeEtte Simpson, the County Archaeologist
confirmed for me that these hand-axes were definitely Lake Manix Lithic
Industry artifacts of the Mojave Desert. She went on to say that they
appeared to be identical to surface finds on desert pavements in the area of
the Calico Hills Archaeological Site near yermo, in which Dr Louis Leakey
was Project Director. Dr Leakey shared with "Dee" that the artifacts found
in the Mojave looked just like those found in East Africa. Dee Simpson went on to say to me that these pieces were of an origin a
minimum of 10, 000 years in age. Most likely ranging upwards to 19, 000 years
in age. Unique scarce collectibles! Check my feedback = +3701 (100%) Lightning-Fast Shipping Best Wishes, Bob Rasband RISK FREE PURCHASE! YOUR SATISFACTION IS MY REPUTATION
