Shaped by Hand


On the subject of shaped flints. The things you can find just lying around these chalk downs. This arrowhead over 5,000 years old was found near Chichester, so beautifully worked I wonder if the person who made it was very much different to us? Were they happy or sad, did they sing to themselves while they sat chipping away at this stone? Well they didn’t have thousands of years of technology and an Ipod/pad plugged in their ear but what skill!
