Any questions please ask and I will do my best to answer quickly and correctly. An ideal item for anyone who has an interest in the past and would make an excellent, unusual and historical gift. The Neolithic period was the latter part of the Stone-Age and even over-laps with the Bronze ... moreage in certain regions. It began when man ceased the nomadic way of life and started settling in agricultural communities. As well as hunting. They started keeping livestock and growing crops in annual cycles. It lasted until the first metal tools were introduced 4-5000 years ago with the Iron and Bronze Ages. The Neolithic period provides a plethora of collectible pieces. Each unique and hand-crafted thousands of years ago. To hold a Neolithic arrowhead knowing it was used in the basic, everyday survival of our earliest ancestors is a wonderful experience. Neolithic Arrowheads show an incredible variety of styles and were used in almost all areas of life at that time. I have personally handled over 25.000 of these Neolithic arrowheads or'flints' during my collecting over the last 20 years.
