LIBYA, Erg Ubari,Acheulian, c. 500,000-200,000BC,  handaxes.  These look right,mostly with "desert varnish" (sand polishing) and evidence of use. Pictures are about 1/3 size, so they're big!  Made and used by homoerectus, formerly generally thought to be a direct ancestor of ourspecies, now I think they think not.
