The Federmesser culture is a toolmaking tradition of the Epipaleolithic era (which is just after the end of the Palaeolithic era) of the northern European Plain dating to between c. 9800 and 8800 BC.


It used small backed flint blades and shares characteristics with the Creswellian culture in Britain.

Settlements of the Hamburgian and Federmesser Cultures at Slotseng, South Jutland - PalaeoWiki (5146 words)
Implements should be precisely plotted in already during the reconnaissance phase and the small probes supplemented with excavation of larger holes, of 1 sq.m., for example, in the centre of the concentrations, in order to obtain sufficiently characteristic material for this purpose.
It gradually became apparent that we were dealing with a settlement of the Federmesser Culture, especially as none of the Hamburgian Culture's typical implement forms occurred under the topsoil.
The Federmesser Culture was until 1990 known only from a series of surface finds, stray Federmesser (Andersen 1977; Madsen 1982; Fischer 1990), and scrapers of Wehlen type and a single, secure settlement on Rundebakke, Knudshoved Odde, South Zealand (Petersen 1974).
