Surviving artifacts of this period are known as paleoliths and were manufactured by early hominids, from Homo habilis and Homo erectus to early Neanderthal , all predecessors of our species, Homo sapiens.

No one knows exactly how many of these incredible artifacts actually exist or will ever be discovered, but one thing is certain... they are wonderful collectible artifacts while they are available!

Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
