Flint tool found at the Freville Pit at Saint-Acheul, Amiens
Photograph, by Charles Pinsard (1819-1911), showing in detail the hand axe in the Freville Pit at Saint-Acheul, Amiens, France. It was the first worked flint tool to be recorded and witnessed in situ by Joseph Prestwich (1812-1896) and John Evans (1823-1908), which became the final proof for the long suspected Antiquity of Man'.
