UK gallery, early 2000s.In the Neolithic the continuing predominance of flint artefacts did not stop the evolution of the society. The neolithic people were different in radical way from their predecessors. Farming rather than hunting was now the basis of the human existence, creating slowly but inesorably a more sedentary way of life in villages of timber-houses. Consequently the artefacts created by the men of Neolithic were tool instruments, like axes used in felling trees to create fields from the natural woodland, and in shaping timber for construction.

Ex German art market, 2000s.Acquired from an EU collector living in London.From the collection of Surrey, UK, gentleman.Many examples of this category from the Danube region were found in female graves, where they possibly served as grave goods considered appropriate for their connection with general issues of fertility, good fortune, and beauty, or even as protective amulets. Since lead mirror frames have been found in this Roman province only in graves of women, it is probable that these miniature mirrors, fitted with a central glass, were expected to serve as ritual or magical tools to assist souls of dead women in the afterlife.
A RARE SPITFIRE ENGINEERS TOOL CHEST ORIGINALLY BELONGING TO ROY WALTERS, ENGINEER, VICKERS ARMSTRONG LIMITED, SUPERMARINE WORKS, CIRCA 1940-1943 TOGETHER WITH ORIGINAL ENGINEERS IDENTIFICATION CARD AND QUANTITY OF OTHER PERSONAL PAPERS To include Engineering Union Members books, hand drawn diagrams of engineering elements, typed list of tools and other items 27cm high, 41cm wide, 20cm deep Supermarine, British aircraft manufacturer is most famous for producing the Spitfire fighter plane during World War II. In 1928 Vickers-Armstrongs took over Supermarine as Supermarine Aviation Works (Vickers) Ltd and in 1938 all Vickers-Armstrongs aviation interests were reorganised to become Vickers-Armstrongs (Aircraft) Ltd, although Supermarine continued to design, build and trade under its own name. The phrase Vickers Supermarine was applied to the aircraft. The first Supermarine landplane design to go into production was the famous and successful Spitfire. The earlier Hawker Hurricane and the Spitfire were the mainstay of RAF Fighter Command fighter aircraft which fought off the Luftwaffe bombing raids with fighter escorts during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. The Spitfire was the only Allied fighter aircraft to be in production through the entirety of the Second World War. The identity card of Roy Walters is dated 8th February 1943. The branch of the Engineering Union that Walters was a member of was Newbury, Berkshire. Within days of the bombing of their Woolston and Itchen Works, in late September 1940, Supermarine's Works management had begun to look for, and requisition, new workshops within a fifty mile radius of Southampton, including a cluster around the Berkshire towns of Newbury and nearby Hungerford.
