Abstract [en]

During dredging in Limhamn harbour in 1891 and 1892, a number of flint artefacts were found. The majority of these are blades made from flint. The find has been known to archaeologists since the early 20th century. However, no detailed study of blades from the find has ever been published. In this text, we present the results of our analyses of the blades from Limhamn harbour. We discuss the archaeological-historical relevance of the find. We locate the site and show that the blades were once deposited on or close to the shore. With the help of analyses of flint types, production technology and functional analyses (use-wear), we show that the blades are from the Kongemose period. They were made from locally available flint types and likely represent a site where the blades were used, but not manufactured. Functional analyses show that the blades were used as butchering tools and as tools for working in wood and bone or antler. We conclude with a discussion of our results in relation to future studies.
