For #FindsFriday #Neolithic knives found in the pile dwelling settlement in Niederwil, Switzerland (3900-3500 BC).
The blades are made of flint. They were fastened with birch tar in the handles made of poplar wood.
The knife handles have a small hole near one end presumably for attaching a cord.
Knives of this shape were most likely intended primarily for harvesting tasks.
On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld.
