Description
NEOLITHIC SICKLE (2500 - 1500 BC): The Neolithic Revolution was a critical turning point in the history of humanity, particularly because a surplus of food facilitated social and technological diversification. Rather than a singular “revolution,” geographically disparate societies developed agriculture independently. This sickle is made from a flake of dark flint, and retouched along the cutting edges. This tool likely would have been used to harvest grain or clear tall grass.
