This volume deals with knives and harvesting equipment in Central
Europe from their first appearance until the first century of the
Common Era. Knives have accompanied human beings since the
Paleolithic and became useful tools, weapons, and status symbols
over the course of the millennia. An epoch-transcending overview of
all common types of knives is provided here for the first
time.Harvesting equipment appeared with the new economy of the
Neolithic period-first made of silex, then bronze, and finally
sickles and scythes of iron. Cutting devices also include scissors,
an innovative type of tool that revolutionized textile craft. Each
type is described in detail, supplemented with information on
dating and propagation as well as further literature.
