This wonderful Late-Neolithic flint artifact
is a \"Handle Dagger, type VI a\".
The handle of type VI a-daggers is thicker than the blade.
Belonging to the late Dagger Culture 2400-1800 bc
and the Early Bronze-Age.
The last period of the Stone Age, 2400-1800 BC, known as the Dagger period, coincided with the early Bronze Age in the British Isles and Central Europe. Weapons and tools made of copper and bronze were introduced and provided a challenge for those who made flint tools. The result can be seen in the excellent examples of imitations in flint of foreign bronze daggers. At the end of the period, the production of metal implements finally gained a foothold, and there is evidence of an emerging new social stratification. This is reflected in finds from settlements with both small and much larger long houses. Burial customs varied from simple interments below ground or in passage graves, to burials in stone cists or log coffins covered with large mounds.
Daggers replaced the battle axes from the Single Grave Culture
(2800-2400 bc) as status symbol. Because of the importance
the period is called after that Late Neolithic artifact.
The chronological sequence of the individual types can be
determined by the stratification of objects found in
tumili containing single graves and in cists.
The hilt is oval and widest at the midpoint.
The flaking is very nice and well done.
The blade is evenly curved.
Provenance is an old collection.
More informations will follow the artifact.
I guarantee absolutely for the authenticity of
this dagger from the Late Stone Age.
