EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of polished flint axes, dating back to the Neolithic period between 3700 and 3500 BC. Discovered at the archaeological site of Hagelbjerggard in central Zealand, Denmark, these axes are now proudly displayed at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. The Neolithic age marked a significant shift in human history, as people began to transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to one that included agriculture and animal husbandry. The development of advanced lithic technology, such as these polished flint axes, played a crucial role in this transformation. The axes in this photograph exhibit intricate details and precise craftsmanship, reflecting the advanced technological capabilities of the Neolithic people. The polishing process required great skill and patience, resulting in tools that were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. These axes would have been essential for clearing land for agriculture, as well as for constructing buildings and making other tools. The presence of such well-crafted tools at the Hagelbjerggard site suggests that this community was economically and technologically advanced for its time. The Neolithic period in Denmark and the rest of Europe saw the emergence of new industries and cultural practices, including the use of pottery and the construction of megalithic monuments. The discovery of these polished flint axes provides valuable insights into the daily lives and technological innovations of these early farming communities.
