And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Is that an example of Solutrean knapping?
ReplyDeleteDoubt it's a dagger, more like a spearpoint. And possibly ceremonial at that.
ReplyDeleteBet that can get sharper than any steel blade you have. I know glass can be sharp down to the molecular level on the cutting edge...
ReplyDeleteWhomever lapped that knew what they were doing, that is a piece of art. MNS is right, I bet it is sharper than steel.
ReplyDeleteSpear point but from a large burial site with many such weapons. http://benedante.blogspot.com/2018/05/valencina-de-la-concepcion-copper-age.html
