The three-centimetre (1.2-inch) blade was found in the so-called Elephant Chasm cave where in 2007 researchers found a human finger and jawbone dating back 1.2 million years — considered the remains of the “oldest European” ever found.

The find made this year, considered to be “of great value”, came from a carving knife, Eduald Carbonell, one of the directors of the dig, said during a presentation of the discovery.
