Around Antwerp we've had a wide range of activities from the Paleolithicum, Mesolithicum to the Neolithicum and onwards, even Neanderthaler activities have been found. I even found hazzlenuts that were eaten once. Mostly in the harbour area, the wastelands deliver finds, mostly spots were they chopped the stones and ate, also the river gives nice finds.
The flint itself comes from far away, southern Belgium most likely, interesting stuff. The flintmines at Spiennes are Unesco heritage.

A handaxe like we know them,
Nice to fit them into your hand and check out the possible hold.
Some pictures i have on disk, from my growing collection. :)
Wow, nice blades and scrapers.
Thanks, very cool stuff.
They say now that the ancient Belgians were the forefathers of modern Europeans. In a cave here they have found the oldest domesticated dogs.
Just north in the Netherlands near Rotterdam, they have been digging up a lot Pleistocene fossils, harpoons, flints, usually dragged of the seabed, but also on the beach.
