NORTHERN EUROPEAN STONE AGEARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description This extraordinary rare, outstanding large Stone Age artifact is called" Tanged Point Lyngby Bromme Type ", occurs in the late Paleolithic ( Palaeolithic Hamburg ) Bromme Culture 11400-10200 bc. The Bromme culture is a late Upper Paleolithic culture dated to the Allerød Oscillation, ca 9700 BC-9000 BC, a warmer spell between the Elder Dryas and the Younger Dryas, the last cold periods of the late Weichsel Glaciation. At this time, the reindeer was the most important prey, but the Bromme people also hunted moose, wolverine and beaver. The landscape was consequently a combination of taiga and tundra. The culture is named after a settlement at Bromme on western Zealand, and it is known from several settlements in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. In Sweden, it is known from the country's earliest known settlement at Segebro, near Malmö. It is charactherized by sturdy lithic flakes that were used for all tools, primarily awls (sticklar), scrapers and skaftunge arrow heads. No stone axes have been found. The Bromme culture and the Ahrensburg culture are so similar that they it has been proposed that the two cultures should be combined as one and the same under the label Lyngby culture, with the Bromme culture being recognized as an older northern branch of the same culture as the Ahrensburg culture.Tanged Pints of Lyngby Bromme Type are heavy points made from a thick, pointed flake, with the butt chipped to from a tang;the point sometimes slightly trimmed. Presumably used as a point for an arrow or a spear head; the suggestion has also been made that it was a point for a striking weapon. Found in numbers at the Bromme site.A stray find was made at Nörre Lyngby in a Late Dryas deposit( Reindeer Hunter Culture ). Larger and slighterspeciems are known.The offered piece is 81 mms long.Wonderful marble-like patinated flint.Provenance is an old collection.
