Flint is a sedimentary rock texture of the mineral quartz and was primarily defined during the Stone Age. Flint appears in lumps or masses of other sedimentary rocks, such as limestones and chalks, and is known for its sharp cutting edge as well as its function as a fire-starter when struck by steel.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In the 1st century BCE, flint was used in early weapons such as the spearhead of the Flint Spear which was used by the Hidden Ones' co-founder Bayek of Siwa.[2] In the 870s, flint could be seen in caves, like the Grime's Graves in Norfolk, England.[3]
During the American Revolutionary War, flint was bought and sold as a commodity in the thirteen colonies. The Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton created flint by merging varying quantities of lead ore, iron ore, and limestone with help from the Davenport Homestead's blacksmith, David Walston. With the use of flint and David's aid, Ratonhnhaké:ton was able to craft multiple and varied pistols, such as flintlocks and duck foots, as well as the trip mine explosive.[4]
