Early Stone Tools
- 1967 ----- color ----- 20 min ----- vhs
- some of the percussion flaking techniques which early man and his predecessors may have used to produce a variety of tools are demonstrated by Professor Francois Bordes, Director of the Laboratory of Prehistory, University of Bordeaux. These tools range from simple pebble chopper and flake tools, through finely worked hand axes, to the more sophisticated Neanderthal scraper points and other forms made from flakes struck off disc cores. Through animation the development of these tools is clearly shown to parallel the evolution of man himself from his australopithecine forebear's to Homo sapiens--modern man.
