very nice long core blades...was there any sighn of the flint cores they were struck off of?

It always puzzles me to see artifacts found in caches and nothing anywhere near it of debitage. No blade cores, no rework core pieces, no hammerstones. Yet the entire cache was placed perfectly as if the knapper was removing a flake and laying it down in order of removal. Awesome find by all means. Why was these people making the blades for. As a knapper I understand usage of ALL flint. Do you find projectile points associated or just bladettes? Im very intrigued! Great find. I to think! LOL

Very cool. Any idea the technique used to produce such large blades? Is a chest crutch sufficient, or do you think some type of jig with a lever? I have lots of bifacing experience but I know nothing about blades. I went to the National Museum in Denmark once and was awestruck by, of course, the daggers and axes, but equally amazed at their blade technology and swords. Incredible!

Since this was a rescue excavation we used different excavation methods. In the lower layer of gyttja sediment, where there were almost no finds we used shovels. The culture layers higher up in the peat where extremly carefully excavated.

I am sure you agree this is an impotant discovery. Were the blades found with any other tools that would define who these people were. The blades are so truly increible. Please share more with us. Who were these people. What were the blades likely purpose. What was the climate there 8k years ago. My mind explodes questions as your camera surveys these blades. Incredible!

The blade cache was deposited a few meters from a middle mesolithic site, dated to the south scandinavian Villingepak fase (Kongemose period). The site was about 7x12 m, with a large central hearth. The finds consisted mostly of worked flints, stones, hazelnut shells and pieces of charcoal. The site was used for shorter and longer stays in the regrowing lake during hunting and fishing trips.
