Clactonian

Clactonian refers to a specific archaeological culture associated with early human tool use during the Lower Paleolithic period. Named after Clacton-on-Sea in England, it is characterized by its distinctive flint tools, which include hand axes and choppers. These tools were typically created by striking flint to shape it, demonstrating early humans' ability to adapt and modify their environment for tasks such as butchering animals and processing plants. The Clactonian tools are part of the broader story of human evolution, showcasing the technological development and survival strategies of our prehistoric ancestors.
