Acheulean industry, first standardized tradition of toolmaking of Homo erectus and early H. sapiens. Named for the type site, Saint-Acheul, in northern France, Acheulean tools were made of stone with good fracture characteristics, such as chalcedony, jasper, and flint; in regions lacking these, quartzite might be used.

The earliest user of Acheulean tools may have been Homo ergaster, who first appeared about 1.8 million years ago (not all researchers use this formal name, and instead prefer to call these users early Homo erectus [10]).
5 Ιουλ 2016 · This paper discusses the evidence for the origins of the Acheulean, a cornerstone in the history of human technology, from two perspectives; firstly, a review of the history of investigations on Acheulean research is presented.
The Acheulean Industry was named after stone artefacts recovered in the 1850s from ancient river terraces in a quarry at Saint-Acheul (Amiens), in France. The Oldowan and Acheulean industries define the Lower Palaeolithic period.
Spanning ca 1.7–0.1 Myr, the Acheulean is the longest-lasting technology in prehistory. Its emergence from the Oldowan constitutes one of the major tran-sitions in human evolution and is also an intensely investigated topic in current Early Stone Age research.
30 Μαΐ 2019 · The humans who produced the Acheulean stone tool industry were members of the species Homo erectus and H. heidelbergensis. During this period, Homo erectus left Africa through the Levantine Corridor and traveled into Eurasia and eventually Asia and Europe, bringing the technology with them.
The Oldowan is the oldest-known stone tool industry. Dating as far back as 2.5 million years ago, these tools are a major milestone in human evolutionary history: the earliest evidence of cultural behavior. Homo habilis, an ancestor of Homo sapiens, manufactured Oldowan tools.
