There is a Chalcolithic flint mine located in the commune. It produced an unusual caramel-coloured stone which appears to have been highly prized across Europe with examples found in the Pyrenees, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Blocks of flint and unfinished blanks were traded, as well as finished tools.

gollark: Oh, and apioforms continue to incurse.
gollark: Actually, schools do NOT exist.
gollark: Well, you could simply call yourself `user` or `a` or `firecubez` or `computron`.
gollark: For conservation of energy, we just produce as many as possible.
gollark: - Charge conservation: we produce muons and antimuons (both are considered muons)- Conservation of muon-lepton number: muon neutrinos are also emitted in large quantities, but these are weakly interacting- Conservation of baryon number: trickier, we mostly just e-mail excess baryon number to our baryon dumps
