    Found close to the Palaeolithic Neanderthal site of Lynford Quarry, Norfolk. Private collection, London, UK.

    Lynford Quarry, a famous and well-documented site, sits on the edge of an ancient channel of water where Neanderthals thrived and hunted. When excavated many years back, hundreds of flint tools were unearthed alongside thousands of butchered bones and teeth of mammoths, woolly rhinos and deer. This axe may have been used for crushing bones to extract the nutritious marrow.
