Context (CMS Context)
Donor notes: "The large 'handaxes' were found during trips to Kalambo Falls on the Zambia/Tanzania border, some 12 miles from Mbala. These were items that had been washed out during rainy season floods and were no longer in their original position although they were probably found very close to it."
