Hypertrophic ‘giant’ handaxes are a rare component of Acheulean assemblages, yet have been central to debates relating to the social, cognitive and cultural ‘meaning’ of these enigmatic tools. The authors examine giant handaxes from the perspective o... Read More about Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic.
