I experimentens lustgård : hur man gör och gjorde en flintyxa

• A recurrent theme in Anders .dman’s career is his curiosity about all kinds of experimental archaeology. Quite a few people have learned the art of working flint at ‘knap-ins’ arranged by Anders. This text takes flint-knapping experiments as a starting point for a discussion of different ways to make a Neolithic axe. In technological analyses prehistoric axes are compared with those resulting from experimental archaeology. The conclusion is that there were different traditional methods of manufacture among Neolithic axe makers, but only one among modern flintsmiths.
