Flint story : how silicon dioxide transformed human life

Books
'Flint Story' is a personal observation of the indispensable role of flint during prehistory, encompassing tales of not only geology and tools, but mines and fire, as well as the studies of antiquarians, collectors and experimenters. Also highlighted are the phenomenal range of unique objects fashioned with tools, often inspired by symbiosis with nature's creatures and processes: from cave, rock shelter and portable art to hunting weapons, personal adornment and the first musical instruments. A comprehensive guide to archaeological sites and museums, maps, a timeline and a list of online resources are provided to inspire and assist your own exploration of flint's coexistence with human endeavour.
