    In  the  summer  of  2005,  an  underwater  survey  of  the slovenian Adriatic was conducted by a group of international archaeologists. A rare prehistoric chert artefact classified as a small bifacial dagger or “fixed blade” knife was recovered near Punta Piran. The artefact has bilateral notches near the  proximal  end,  presumably  to  facilitate  hafting,  and shows evidence of resharpening. Typologically, this find is most closely related to northern italian Chalcolithic and Bavarian Final neolithic examples, and is likely an import from the northeast italian Pre-Alpine region
