Tools, flakes and cores from Morton Farm, Tentsmuir, Fife
Add to album

These flint tools, flakes and cores were found at the early settlement site at Morton Farm at Tentsmuir in Fife. The site was a camp of gatherer-fisher-hunters, who occupied it seasonally to exploit the local resources between 6000 and 5000 BC.

Tool

Flint was used to make a wide range of tools by early people. The tools include blades or flakes, scrapers, awls and borers, and microliths (very small blades blunted on one side in order to be set in hafts or shafts). Some show signs of sharpening or reuse.
