This ca. 5,000-year-old Neolithic polished flint axe with its original ash wood handle is remarkable well preserved.
During the Neolithic period in Denmark, as agriculture began to expand, farmers had to clear the forests, which involved felling trees and burning away brushwood in preparation for cultivation. They used polished flint axes for both tree felling and timber work.
Fount at Sigerslev bog, Denmark, dating 3,100-3,000 BC.
On display National Museum Copenhagen
