Lithics in the Scandinavian Late Bronze Age: Sociotechnical Change and Persistence

by Anders Hogberg

This volume examines the large flint knife blade asking why these artefacts were so common in the late Bronze Age of southern Scandinavia, a time which is supposed to be characterised by the transition from bronze to iron technology. Based on the results of studying the archaeological material from a wide geographical area centred around Malmo, Hogberg analyses the coexistence of iron and flint technology and the eventual replacement of the latter, in terms of broader social change and tensions. 303p b/w figs (BAR 1932, Archaeopress 2009)

Review Quote

"To the British lithics specialist, Högberg’s volume is highly relevant... the book is accompanied by well-focused (micro and macro) photographs, as well as beautiful artefact line drawings."
