Neolithic Silex Arrow head - 2.5 cm (No reserve price)

This Neolithic Silex (flint) Arrowhead measuring 2.5 cm exemplifies the sophisticated stone tool technology of Neolithic societies. Flint was the preferred material for toolmaking due to its ability to fracture predictably to produce sharp edges. Arrowheads were essential for hunting and defense, with shapes and sizes reflecting their specific purposes. The Neolithic period saw a transition from nomadic hunting to settled farming communities, but hunting remained a vital activity. Flint arrowheads like this reflect the skilled craftsmanship and knowledge of materials possessed by prehistoric peoples. Their study offers valuable insight into early human survival strategies, tool evolution, and the spread of human populations.
