146 Norderstedt, Kr. Segeberg
The south of Schleswig-Holstein was already quite densely populated during the Neolithic period, as the numerous tools made of excellently worked flint make clear. This compilation of Neolithic flint tools comes from a school collection. In addition to blades that served as preparatory work for various small implements, there are also ground axe blades and carefully struck daggers. The "cast seam" on one of the dagger handles, which is probably modelled on bronze, already points to the imminent replacement of stone by the new metal.

Daggers
Age: 2.800 - 2.200 v. Chr. Neolithic period
Neolithic period: In the Neolithic period, people began for the first time to actively shape and change their environment: sedentarisation was one of the essential prerequisites for civilisational progress. Farmers cleared forests for their settlements, fields and for keeping livestock. They built their farms out of wooden posts, wattle and daub and clay. Cattle, pigs, goats and sheep are recorded as domestic animals. The diet of the people was now enriched by cereals such as wheat and barley, which were cultivated on farmland.
