More flint tools with ape petroglyphs and more...

These two stone age tool finds are from an unknown period but have a similar cortex grip feature. Ape like face profiles are present just like nearly all my other figurative finds, more can be found too! just pick a likely looking eye feature, and run with it ;-)

Mesolithic Flint Tool?

Portable Rock Art
Mesolithic Art 
This worked flint find of mine, was found alongside stone tools described by the Museums Services as 'Mesolithic' back in 2005.  Some face profiles can be seen, including a suspected ape impression, bird and wolf. Of coarse there is no record of an ape population living in the UK in the Mesolithic period. The beak of the bird head profile is a translucent inclusion in the flint itself, apologies  for not getting this alignment quite right, with some adjustment I believe more profile's will be revealed.

Bird and Wolf flint figure stones.

Two double sided flint artifacts from my site, both of very similar style, and in translucent flint material. Suspected bird and wolf iconography can be seen.

A Hidden Landscape.

Portable Rock Art
I don't often reveal suspected landscapes in my finds, hill and mountain shapes are often to ambiguous for a positive identification, as such. Here I have interpreted tree, clouds, sky, stars, grass, roots and cliff.  Not my only suspected  shark impression, but good details are visible, such as the terminal dorsal lobe  of the sharks tail ending, just above the tree.
