EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of Perforated Battle-Axes from the National Museum of Finland in Helsinki, showcasing a significant find from the Neolithic period in Nordic areas, specifically the Corded Ware culture, which spanned from approximately 2900-2450 BC and 2350 BC. These axes, made primarily of copper and bronze, are characterized by their intricate perforations and were likely used as both tools and weapons during this time. The Battle-Axes, also referred to as Perforated Battle-Axes or Battle-Axes with Corded Decoration, are a distinctive artifact of the Corded Ware culture, which is also known as the Battle Axe Culture or the Single Grave culture. These axes were discovered in various burial sites throughout Scandinavia and were often found with human remains, suggesting their importance in the funerary rituals of the time. The intricate perforations on these axes were likely created using a technique called "cord-wrapping," where a cord was wrapped around the axe and then removed, leaving behind small indentations. This technique is characteristic of the Corded Ware culture and is also seen in other artifacts, such as pottery and textiles. The discovery of these Perforated Battle-Axes provides valuable insights into the daily life and cultural practices of the people of the Neolithic period in the Nordic regions. Their use as both tools and weapons highlights the importance of these objects in the daily lives of these ancient communities, and their intricate decoration speaks to the artistic and creative abilities of the people who made them. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and prehistorical heritage of Finland and the Nordic regions, and serves as a reminder of the fascinating discoveries that continue to be made through archaeological research and preservation efforts.
