This artifact is a Danish Mesolithic aged Burin or Drill made of a
cream colored flint with multiple very small white intrusions. It has fine lateral retouches on the left side
near the point. This piece show definite signs of utilization with wear
on the tip and sides of the drill point. This artifact was
fashioned via the Levallois technique as evident by the flake scaring
pattern. There is some cortex visible on the
proximal side. This
Flint Drill measures 88mm long by 70mm wide. This stone artifact was found
at the archaeological site of Agernæs (Ags), located on the
Northern tip of the island of Funen, Denmark. Agernæs was the site of an ancient
stone age hunting station associated with the Late Mesolithic
Ertebølle Culture and dated to 4,200 B.C. The site yielded 32
distinct hunted animal species, concentrating mainly on fur-bearing
animals.

DESCRIPTION: Rare
Double Ended Burin
This artifact is a rare and unusual double ended burin on a nice
blue-gray flint flake with interlaced white bedding. This piece
has at least four burin blows. It measures 55mm by 22mm.
This stone artifact was found just
off the shore of the island of Funen, Denmark. This was the site of an ancient
stone age settlement called "Mejloe", which is now covered by
the Baltic sea. The settlement dates to the Ertebölle
Culture: 5,400 to 3,900 B.C. The artifact was recovered
by divers in up to 20 feet of water, which gives it a interesting and beautiful
patina. It still has some undersea growth attached to this piece.

Each artifact is unique and no two
pieces are quite the same, similar to snowflakes. So once an item is purchased,
there usually is not another artifact to replace it.
