Flint mines on Bow Hill is a Neolithic flint extraction site located in Sussex, England, dating to approximately 4000-3000 BCE. The site consists of surface workings and pit features where flint nodules were quarried from the chalk bedrock to produce tools and implements essential to Neolithic communities. The mines represent important evidence of organised prehistoric resource exploitation and demonstrate the value placed on high-quality flint from specific geological sources during the early farming period. Such flint extraction sites were crucial to the economic and technological development of Neolithic Britain, supplying raw material that was traded across considerable distances.
