1. Title: "Iron Age Legacy: Tubular Axes from El Brull and Plana, Catalonia" 2.. This photograph showcases a collection of tubular axes, relics of the Iron Age, discovered at the archaeological sites of El Brull and Plana de Vic in Catalonia, Spain. Dating back to the Metal Age and specifically the Iron Age, these axes are a testament to the advanced technology and craftsmanship of the prehistoric Iberian people. The tubular axes, characterized by their hollow, cylindrical shape, were primarily used as versatile tools and weapons during this period. The axes were meticulously crafted through a technique known as knapping, which involves the deliberate chipping away of stone to create the desired shape. The hollow design allowed for a lighter weight and increased efficiency, making these axes an essential component of daily life and warfare. El Brull and Plana de Vic, located in the Osona region of Catalonia, have yielded numerous archaeological findings, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of the prehistoric Iberian population. The Episcopal Museum of Vic, where these tubular axes are housed, preserves and displays these precious artifacts, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich prehistory of Europe's Iberian Peninsula. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our prehistoric ancestors, who, despite living thousands of years ago, left behind a legacy that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
