EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of hand axes discovered in the Aisne Valley of France, dating back to the Mousterian Culture period between 100,000 and 40,000 BC. The Mousterian Culture is a significant chapter in human prehistory, marked by the use of the Mousterian industry, characterized by the production and use of flint tools. These hand axes, crafted from petrified siltstone or flint, were essential instruments for the Neanderthals who inhabited Europe during this time. The Aisne Valley, located in the northern part of France, was a rich source of flint deposits, making it an ideal location for the production and use of these tools. The hand axes, displayed here, vary in size and shape, reflecting the skill and creativity of the Neanderthal craftsmen. Some axes exhibit a distinctive "pointed-butt" or "bifacially flaked" design, while others display a more rounded form. This collection is now housed in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, providing a valuable insight into the prehistoric past of Europe. The presence of these tools in the museum underscores the rich cultural heritage and interconnectedness of European prehistory, with the Dordogne region in southwestern France being another notable area known for its extensive Mousterian sites. The Mousterian Culture represents an important period in human history, marked by the development of advanced stone tool technology and the adaptation of early humans to the challenges of the European environment. This collection of hand axes from the Aisne Valley serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our prehistoric ancestors.
