15.000Y.O: GREAT ANGLE BURIN TRIMMED STONE AGE PALAEOLITHIC MAGDALENIAN FLINT
EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description European Palaeolithic Magdalenian Culture. Dating around 13000 bc. The length is 50 mms. Wonderful white patinated flint! Burins are blades having at one ed a short transversal edge formed by the intersection of two flaking surfaces(the burin blows) or between a scar and a trimmed edge. This burin edge may be at one corner(angle burin) or in the median axis of the flake(central burin) There may sometimes be a burin edge at both corners of the same end. Or at both ends; this is often due to one or more burin blows having failed, whereafter the worker continued until a useful edge was obtained. In some cases the side edges of the butt are blunted to provide a better grip. Usual length between 30 and 120 mms. Presumably used for working in bone, for example for splitting ... moreby cutting longitudinal grooves. Late Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer communities occupying much of northern and western Europe during the period 16000–10000 bc. The classic Magdalenian is concentrated in southern France and northern Spain. But it can also be recognized extending northwards into Britain and eastwards into the North European Plain in Germany, Poland, and as far as the Sudost River in Russia. The name is taken from the type-site rock-shelter of La Madeleine in the Dordogne Valley of southwest France. The Magdalenian stone industry is characterized by small geometrically shaped implements, especially triangles and semilunar blades, that were probably set into bone or antler handles for use, burins, scrapers, borers, backed bladelets, and shouldered and leaf-shaped projectile points. Bone was used extensively to make wedges, adzes, hammers, spear heads with link shafts, barbed points and harpoons, eyed needles, and jewellery. Their economy was based on reindeer hunting and fishing, and there is evidence of occupied caves as well as open sites. Some of the finest cave art in France and northern Spain can be attributed to these communities, as can a great

7400Y.O: RARITY ANGLE BURIN DANISH STONE AGE MESOLITHIC ERTEBOLLE C FLINT !!!
NORTHERN EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description Length of this wonderful marble-like patinized tool is 69 mms. Angel burins occur in all Danish Mesolithic cultures. In most Mesolithic cultures abroad(Norway. Sweden, Germany, Poland, England) and in Upper Palaeoltic everywhere in Europe. Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age is the period in human development between the end of the Palaeolithic period and the beginning of the Neolithic period. It began generally with the end of the last glacial period over 10.000 years ago, although the transition to Neolithic cultures was a gradual process; this change involved the domestication of plants and animals and the formation of settled communities at various times and places. While Mesolithic cultures lasted in Europe until almost 4000 years BC, the Neolithic communities ... moredeveloped in the Middle East between 9000 and 6000 BC. Mesolithic cultures represent a wide variety of hunting. Fishing, and food gathering techniques. This variety may be the result of adaptations to changed ecological and environmental conditions associated with the retreat of glaciers, the growth of forests in Europe and deserts in N Africa, and the disappearance of the large game of the Ice Age. Characteristic of the period were hunting and fishing settlements along rivers and on lake shores. Microliths, the typical stone implements of the Mesolithic period, are smaller and more delicate than those of the late Paleolithic period. Pottery and the use of the bow developed, although their presence in Mesolithic cultures may only indicate contact with early Neolithic peoples. Burins are blades having at one ed a short transversal edge formed by the intersection of two flaking surfaces(the burin blows) or between a scar and a trimmed edge. This burin edge may be at one corner(angle burin) or in the median axis of the flake(central burin) There may sometimes be a burin edge at both corners of the same end.
