What is Acheulean Tool Industry Overview about?
The Acheulean was an archaeological industry characterized by distinctive hand-axes associated with Homo erectus. Dating to 1.76-0.13 million years ago, it originated in Africa and spread across large parts of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Acheulean tools were bifacially worked and symmetrically shaped using wood or bone hammers, representing an advance over earlier flake-based technologies. Regional variations existed within this widespread and long-lived Lower Paleolithic stone tool tradition.
