Lunteren (Ede II) c. >200,000 BP / c)ede2bif

Designated the 'Grand Biface' of Lunteren-Goudsberg [Peeters, H., Musch, J. and Wouters, A. (1988). Les plus anciennes industsries des Pays-Bas. L’Anthropologie (Paris): fig. 16].

Comment: As in other CCC assemblages, bifaces are rare. Wouters, A., Franssen, C. and Kessels, A. (1981). Typologie van de artefacten van de Chopper Choppingtool Complexen. Archaeologische Berichten 10:89, 92. classifies such bifaces as 'proto-bifaces' to indicate their shape-differences from contemporary Acheulian bifaces.
