EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen showcases an intriguing collection of axes, showcasing the versatility and importance of this essential tool throughout various periods in Denmark's prehistoric past. The assemblage includes a range of axes, such as core axes, flint axes, and flake axes, dating back to around 5500 BC and 8500 BC. The earliest axes, like the ones from the Mesolithic periods of Kongemose and Maglemose, were primarily made of flint or flintstone. These axes were laboriously crafted by flaking and shaping the stone, requiring a high level of skill and expertise. As societies evolved, so did the materials and techniques used to create axes. The core axes, which emerged around the same time, were made by hollowing out a piece of wood and then attaching a stone or greenstone blade. These axes served multiple purposes in Danish society during the Neolithic and Mesolithic eras. They were essential for both work and battle, used for various tasks such as woodworking, agriculture, and hunting. The axes were also symbolically significant, reflecting the technological advancements and cultural achievements of the time. This impressive display of axes offers a glimpse into Denmark's rich prehistoric past, providing valuable insights into the daily lives, industries, and societies of early human communities in Europe. The National Museum of Denmark continues to preserve and showcase such precious objects, allowing us to connect with our ancestors and better understand the fascinating history of our continent.
