These
are flint tools from the Neolithic Age. They are about five thousand
years old. Number one is a scraper found at Chanctonbury Ring. Number
two is a knife from Cissbury Ring. In Neolithic times people first
began to cultivate crops and keep farm animals. These tools would have
had many uses such as butchering meat or preparing skins to make into
warm clothing. High quality flint was mined at Cissbury by Neolithic
people and Cissbury flint tools have been found as far away as the
Eastern Mediterranean.
