Item Details
Description
Northern Europe, Denmark, Neolithic period, ca. 3900 to 1700 BCE. A collection of 3 ancient stone hand axes, each expertly napped from chert with brown or warm gray hues. Their forms are similar: each featuring a thick and rounded butt end with a straight edge for gripping, the body widening towards the blade tip and an acutely angled blade edge meant for shaping softer materials like wood or hide. Tools like these examples are part of the technology that marked Neolithic life in northwestern Europe, alongside farming, pottery, and longhouses. The largest blade has a find site label that indicates it was found near Slagelse. Size of largest: 4.5" L x 2" W (11.4 cm x 5.1 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
