Description
This axe was found in Hallberg parish, Närke. Thin-butted axes are primarily connected to the Funnel Beaker Culture and dates from the early Neolithic to the Middle Neolithic A, c:a 3700-3200BC. The thin-butted axes were working axes to cut trees or other wooden elements. These axes are commonly found in megalithic tombs or in depositions.
This object was not polished why traces of knapping can be seen on all sides. Cortex visible on the butt and surface.
