A ficron handaxe is the name given to a type of prehistoric stone tool biface with long, curved sides and a pointed, well-made tip. They are found in Lower Palaeolithic, Middle Palaeolithic and Acheulean contexts, and are some of the oldest tools ever created by man. The tool was named by the French archaeologist François Bordes.
Like other types of handaxes, ficrons are created through a process called flint-knapping or lithic reduction. This involves a process of percussing the stone with a hard hammer such as a stone, a soft hammer such as a bone or antler, and pressure flaking using a punch made of bone or antler.
Unsurprisingly, Acheulean tools such as ficrons can be found in the rift valley of Kenya, and sites such as Gona and Bouri in Ethiopia, where early humans and others evolved. As these groups found their way out of Africa, the tools went with them.
However, Great Britain has also yielded its share of ficrons, found in gravel pits. Swanscombe Heritage Park is famous for its many archaeological discoveries, including ficrons. Because Britain was often covered in ice during the Paleolithic Age, it was only inhabitable between glacial periods. As glaciers melted, tools were swept into gravels where they are discovered today.

London is planning to open a $4.5 billion theme park that rivals Disneyland — here's what it could l
The only thing that could make London better would be a theme park. Unfortunately, it doesn't have one.That might all change in a few years.
The location would technically be just outside Swanscombe Peninsula, North Kent. It's about an hour's drive from the center of London, andshorter by train.
The park will have different themed zones: Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, and Cartoon Circus.
Other areas of the planned park include Action Square and Entertainment City. Each one would have its own set of rides and attractions.
If LRCH can get a deal together, construction can start as early as 2018.
It's a relief from the planned, more rigid architecture of the city
It'd also have nightclubs, ponds and canals, a conference and event space that could host music and sporting events, and a huge water park.If LRCH strikes deals with partners that can replace Paramount, the park can open as soon as 2022.
