Comprising nineteen knapped tools and one polished implement. 405 grams total, 3.2-13.4 cm
UK gallery, early 2000s.
In the Neolithic the continuing predominance of flint artefacts did not stop the evolution of the society. The neolithic people were different in radical way from their predecessors. Farming rather than hunting was now the basis of the human existence, creating slowly but inesorably a more sedentary way of life in villages of timber-houses. Consequently the artefacts created by the men of Neolithic were tool instruments, like axes used in felling trees to create fields from the natural woodland, and in shaping timber for construction. -
