...the eye candy is sweet and the descriptions and analysis of each tool unparalleled on YT! ... so satisfying to watch I now need a cigarette and I don't even smoke! 😂
Hello mate, Peter here. Thanks for a great video again! Don´t you think that "endscraper" is an Ertebölleknife like you once told me🙂? You know cutting edges beside the concave retouch. And it also has shafting-retouch. Everything is there. All the Best
@@peterlidman3130 PETER! Hello my friend. Haha yes you read my mind on that “end scraper”, but I didn’t think about it until editing the clips together 😄 there was a bit of a curve on the blade which I guess made me not consider it at the time. The good examples are perfectly straight as you know, but yes I do think that’s what it was. All the best mate 👍
@@apondas399 I’m told by archaeologists that I must leave the finds. I don’t really want to but it’s best for future research so it’s okay with me 👍 thanks for the comment. I’ll pass the message on to Ziggy haha.
Concerning the half ball at minutes 4 and 7 of the video...I've finds two complete completely round, my idea is that was used as bullets to hit animals (italian neolithic). Very interesting video as usual, thank you to sharing.
@@tizianocaronni702 Hey, thanks! Interesting idea on the flint balls but the ones here were certainly used for pecking axes. I can’t comment on your Italian ones but I guess it’s easy to find round stones to slingshot 🤔. Flint balls can also form from fossilised sea sponges, I guess you’re not finding those?
@@flintingscandinavia1878 In my area is not easy to find round flint balls, in more than ten years only two. The area now is 20 kms to the sea but before under the sea, I find fossil shell, but never find round balls in sponge.
I'll take a guess that the big teeth you're finding are from älg(moose) they spend lots of their lives around the margins. Quite a few crash through the ice and die too. I remember seeing a couple of news articles showing dead moose frozen in lakes when i lived in Sweden. I'm no expert on teeth,but could that be a broken section of a molar? I think it's more than plausible they're from moose. Definitely a very large herbivore of some description.
@@scottlaugher-flintknapping Hey thanks for this, you could be right! What part of Sweden were you in? There’s no moose in this area these days but a friend found the crown and horns of an extinct moose type in the lake at basically this very spot. The teeth and bones I find here are washed out of deep layers in an area that was dry land up until the 60s. The lake was “here” but was a lot smaller back then and even smaller still in prehistoric times 👍 bones from moose, wild horse, aurochs, Irish elk and red deer have all been found here. Nice ID on the lure too 😄 wish I’d kept it now.
@@flintingscandinavia1878 You know I honestly thought about some of the animals on that list😂 and that the area you were searching was dry( hence the finds) it's that they're very large. I was thinking about the moose on the lake I lived and how they moved around,grazed etc. I started looking at moose teeth after watching today. They don't seem quite right on the whole,a couple maybe close though. I first lived in Varberg and then after some time moved near to Trollhätten. I'd met a Swedish girl in Oz. My brother ended up bringing his family out there too. So I've still got family up in Vilhelmina in Lapland.
@@scottlaugher-flintknapping Haha that’s funny. You must’ve read my mind 😁 also funny that you came out to Sweden for love. That’s why I’m here too! I still didn’t post that tooth in a bone group. I should do it and maybe a proper expert can put us both out of our misery 👍
@@flintingscandinavia1878 My Swedish adventure came to an end sadly. I wish I was still there with all my heart though. One day I'll come back to live there I hope. I loved every minute of my time out there and should never have come back. Ages ago I said I'd send some stuff out to you I've knapped. I've mentioned it to L....aka @captainflint. I'm knapping some bits and pieces out of our English stuff(see my UA-cam shorts). The offer still stands to send a few bits. I can see you love your worked flint😂 I just want to say I love this channel. I sit there with my eyes popping out watching your finds. It got me looking over here and I've found my first arrowhead. Nothing like finding the real thing. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your finds. They're always incredible and as a knapper each piece is a marvel.
@@robertporch8895 Hey! Yeah I get that. I also feel weird putting back the really good finds (I’ve always been very selective), but I have to do it to stay legal. Especially when posting it online 😉
@@tizianocaronni702 No problem 😌 Collecting both fossils and flint tools is legal in Sweden if it’s not on a protected place. I walk on these spots because I can show a lot in the video but then I can’t take them 👍
Thank you for sharing, Thumbs up always and stay safe.

What kind of dog is that looks exactly like mine
@@corymoutray579 He’s an Irish Mutt lurcher! Terrier and something with long legs/nose we think 😊
Could be made into a necklace!
@@ChristopherRoberts-vz4hf Could be haha, but you know me by now Chris 😄
Too bad you don't make jewelry I see things I can make into jewelry!
It's driving me crazy watching you put these things back on the ground instead of into your pack and home for display.

@@flintingscandinavia1878 I understand of course. It's still like, oh no, don't! 😁
@@flintingscandinavia1878 sorry for the question, is not legal to collect as in Italy?, collect fissils in scandinavia is legal?
