A flint mine may be as simple as a pit on the surface or an area of quarrying or it may refer to a series of shafts and tunnels used to extract flint. Flint mines have been in use since the Palaeolithic but were most common during the Neolithic. Although flint is not as valuable a resource in modern times, a few flint mines remain in operation even today (for example at Miorcani).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mindo S.A.
