Archaeologists serve as non-functional symbols of identity and status...

Analysis of Bronze Age daggers has shown that they were used for processing animal carcasses and not as non-functional symbols of identity and status, as previously thought...

Wow. Bronze knives were used as knives. Who would have thought it?
Even in very warrior tribes, a lot more animals will be processed than Humans killed in battle.
To: Paperpusher
Unrusted tools have been found in the low stone walls that New England farmers made in the 1500s and have been in the weather since then.
I found a Model-T engine block that had been siting in the woods on a piece of property I bought with exposed valves that were only 1/2 rusted.
All of this things come from high nickle iron mines - apparently there used to be a lot of it, but it all got melted down during WWII to make Liberty ships and the like.

Oh for crying out loud! Did anyone actually think those daggers were always ceremonial? I’m really worried about humanity in this day and time.

I carry a Swiss Army knife with me all of the time. I use it numerous times each and every day. Anyone who does not carry a pocket knife is uncivilized.

And this is a surprise? People, using knives, to cut meat? You don’t say.

If flint’s available, and bronze isn’t, or a multipurpose implement is desired that isn’t length-limited.

Reminds me of “Forged in Fire” (History Channel) where they make knives and swords in competition.
“It will cut” “It will kill” judging the weapons they just made.
