Description
The finds shown in this photograph include flint and stone polished axes typical of this period. These axes, when hafted, are perfectly capable of felling small trees.
The fragment of pottery shown is of a type found throughout the Britain from around 3500BC. It once belonged to a large heavily decorated round bottomed vessel.
The final artefact, a leaf-shaped arrowhead, began to be used from around 4000BC. Wooden bows found preserved in the Somerset Levels indicate that a log bow was probably the preferred hunting weapon at this time.
