Abstract

The first pressure blade concept in southern Scandinavia is identified within the Maglemosian techno-complex 3, dated to the Boreal-Atlantic transition, in the 8th millennium B.C. From technological analysis of blade products in adjacent regions, it is found that a similar concept existed through the eastern Baltic lowland and into the Western Russian plain, where it is described in the post-Swiderian cultures and dated to the 9th millennium B.C. Due to the technological nature of pressure blade technology, a general continuity in the Maglemosian tradition and a clear indication of a similar pressure blade concept in the eastern Baltic region prior to its appearance in southern Scandinavia, it is argued that the first pressure blade concept of southern Scandinavia primarily arrived from the East as borrowed knowledge.
