Description
Northern Europe, Denmark, Neolithic period, ca. 3900 to 1700 BCE. A chert hand axe with retooling, made from a light-brown mottled stone with creamy grey and red-brown inclusions. The polished axe is part of the technology that marked Neolithic life in northwestern Europe, alongside farming, pottery, and longhouses. Axes of this sort are often found inside dolmens, large granite blocks that form tombs. This example is notable for its edge which is still sharp even after thousands of years. Size: 6" L x 1.125" W x 1.875" H (15.2 cm x 2.9 cm x 4.8 cm).
