From an old U.K. collection. Size 11cm x 4cm
Photo by Finlayson Nature Photography. "Alpine Choughs feature regularly in Neanderthal sites, where they are the most frequent corvid."
The bird likeness here would not have been lost on our Neanderthal cousins and was likely a fully intended outcome of the stone work.
Viewpoint: Why did Neanderthals capture birds?
Opposite side is not worked but also has a bird shape with beak protrusion
Two Ohio flint bird form tools featured earlier on this blog
I have identified a number of flint bird forms, some used as tools, at Flint Ridge in east central Ohio. Is it possible there is a relationship between the 'Old 'World' and 'New World' flint working traditions?
