Description
Northern Europe, Denmark, Neolithic period, ca. 3900 to 1700 BCE. A stone axe knapped from gray chert into 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. This example is notable for the cutting edge which is still sharp even after thousands of years. Tools like these examples are part of the technology that marked Neolithic life in northwestern Europe, alongside farming, pottery, and longhouses. Size: 5.5" L x 2.5" W (14 cm x 6.4 cm)
