  • Crystal Weapons of Prehistoric Spain

    Nice. The points are somewhat remindful of the long tailed points Roger posted in July. The dagger is crazy nice....

    Full article. Seems best viewed as a PDF file. Well worth downloading to see the in depth look at the remarkable crystal dagger.

    read the article,very cool read

    that dagger is a fine example of early FOG work ( Flake Over Grind )
    even though they didnt completely flake to center,it does have the look of being ground before they flaked it

    thanks for posting it

              What I found interesting is trying to,puzzle out the meaning of quartz crystal to these ancient peoples. And because I have found a handful of crystal quartz points, I do wonder what meaning, if any, the lithic held for the prehistoric peoples in my own neck of the woods.
