I have just added some information to this page that expands its relevance beyond the archaeological. in doing so I have removed the rather dubious reference to prehistoric cultures. Mainly because prehistoric is a time based definition, whereas there are still cultures today that exist using what we would term neolithic technology, and the number of cultures that practised stone working for tools well into the 1900's was considerable. hope you will agree DavidP 00:30, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I just removed a link to a site that sells ancient stone tools. A link like this does not belong on a reference page. I also feel this is an ETHICAL issue, as an archaeologist I stand against the trade and promotion of antiquities sales. Selling artifacts PROMOTES LOOTING. I left the other link because it shows good examples of modern flintknappers pieces. Please do not put up further links that promote the sale of ancient artifacts.
