Véronique BRUNET, Christophe BORGNON, Anaïck SAMZUN with the cooperation of Ève BOITARD-BIDAUT and Nicolas CAYOL THE PLACE OF THE FLINT PICK DURING THE NEOLITHIC First Thoughts and Inventory

Abstract

The recent discovery of several Neolithic flint pickaxes is related in this paper that presents a first inventory (bibliography and various studies) of this type of object. Pickaxes are often briefly mentioned in published material, but are only very rarely drawn. Also their context is difficult to date. This paper presents pickaxes from different areas in the Paris basin. Discoveries are concentrated in two sectors: the Seine valley and the Marne and Morin valley.
