Northern Africa, Sahara Desert, Neolithic period, ca. 6000 to 3500 BCE. A hand-knapped flint hand knife of an olive-green color that was used for skinning, slicing, and abrading. The ovoid tool has flat faces, light grooves formed via the knapping process, and a uniformly sharp edge around the periphery. During this time period, weather conditions called the Neolithic Subpluvial meant that the Sahara was a green, fertile landscape; cultures that produced rock art flourished during this time period. The people who lived here had plentiful game to hunt and lived in a place with savannahs and woodlands in which they could have a sustainable hunter-gatherer lifestyle. These people produced some of the oldest pottery in the world and, from about 5000 BCE, had domesticated sheep, goats, and cattle.
