The longest celt is approximately 3 inches (75 mm).

Weight of the three is 10+ ounces.

Background information is provided withmy2-page essay on the subject, which will be included.

Neolithic populations living near now dried lakes and rivers in what is now the Sahara desert; used these tools such as this in the processing of game and other campsite chores. The end of the Ice Age resulted in global climate changes which stopped the rains and forced these Neolithic (New Stone Age) peoples into new modes of existence, either agriculture which was just beginning at the end of the Neolithic, or a nomadic animal husbandry mode of existence. The New Stone Age was a very dynamic era giving rise to agriculture, pottery, and permanent settlements, all of which were milestones inhumankind\'smarch toward \'civilized\' life. The Sahara Neolithic lasted from 9,000 to 4,000 BP (years Before Present).

I will include my 2-page essay on the Sahara Neolithic to explain something of the Neolithic era and context in which these tools were found.
