WHAT DOES BIFACIAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bifacial

Hand axe

A hand axe or biface is a prehistorical stone tool with two faces that is the longest-used tool in human history. It is usually composed of flint or chert. It is characteristic of the lower Acheulean and middle Palaeolithic periods. Its technical name comes from the fact that the archetypical model is a generally bifacial Lithic flake with an almond-shaped morphology. Hand axes tend to be symmetrical along their longitudinal axis and formed by pressure or percussion. The most common hand axes have a pointed end and rounded base, which gives them their characteristic shape, and both faces have been knapped to remove the natural cortex, at least partially. Hand axes were the first prehistoric tools to be recognized as such: the first published representation of a hand axe was drawn by John Frere and appeared in a British publication in 1800. Up until that time their origins were thought to be natural or supernatural. Hand axe tools were possibly used in five ways: ▪ 1. Butchering hunted or scavenged animals ▪ 2. Digging for tubers, animals, water ▪ 3. Chopping wood and removing tree bark ▪ 4. Throwing at prey ▪ 5. As a source for flake tools...
