The existence and use of copper as a flint working tool in prehistoric Scandinavian contexts has often been proposed and accepted, but no real study on the implementation as such or the effects on the knapping process has been conducted. In the absence of archaeological evidence, the proof and interpretation must rely on secondary markers, such as technical attributes or trace elements on the flint. Research so far has analysed finished tools to detect and verify the use of copper. This study offers a different approach, relying on production flakes to get a deeper understanding of the production process itself and thus investigating the effects copper knapping tools would have had.

Those will help to understand how the production of bifacial artefacts in the transition from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age Scandinavia was structured and developed. Beside in-detail descriptions of the observed production sequences by modern knappers, statistical methods will be applied to assess the significance of found differences.
