Description

Flint was a vital component for prehistoric societies, from Mesolithic hunter-gatherers to Bronze Age farmers. Chris Butler explores how different diagnostic flint implements were used in each period and how they were produced. The analysis of flintwork provides valuable insights into early man's use of the landscape, including the sourcing of flint, settlement patterns, manufacturing techniques, and ritual sites. This book is the result of 20 years' research into flint assemblages, offering a comprehensive understanding of this important prehistoric material. By examining the production, use, and decline of flint, Butler sheds light on the lives of our ancient ancestors and their relationship with the environment.
