A GROUP OF THREE NEOLITHIC FLINT TOOLS Circa 3rd Millennium B.C. Including a finely knapped dagger with sharply pointed, leaf-shaped blade, 18.2cm long; a thick butted hand axe of attractive grey marbled flint, 14.5cm long; and a small, complete arrow head, 4.5cm long,(3)  Literature: For similar examples see 'Antiquities from Europe and the Near East in the Collection of the Lord McAlpine of West Green' (Oxford, 1987), p.76-77. Provenance: Found in Aamsven, The Netherlands in October 1958 by David Bakker; Private collection of David Bakker and thence by descent to his great grandson Ben Edelenbos; Private collection, The Netherlands acquired from Mr Edelenbos in 2012. Footnotes: Though found in Aamsveen in the east of the Netherlands close to the border with Germany, their origins are more likely to have been in Denmark from where many of the finest ancient stone tools hailed. The spread of such finds reveals an active trade in such objects during the Neolithic period.
