5.2 Gravettian points replica

Experimental replicas of typical stone points from the Gravettian, with one side completely blunted by abrupt retouching.

 

Material: stone – Baltic flint

Exhibit type: originals

 

Their size and shape suggest they were mounted onto a spear. The points exhibited here were made by professional “knapper” Petr Zítka using original Palaeolithic technology, i.e. using only stone and antler tools.
