Neolithic, 2800-2400 B.C. Flint Axe - 15.6 cm

Neolithic flint axes, dating from roughly 2800 to 2400 B.C., represent a significant technological and cultural advancement in prehistoric societies. Measuring about 15.6 cm, these polished stone tools were used for wood cutting, land clearing, and construction, enabling the development of settled agricultural communities. Flint, a hard and fine-grained material, was expertly knapped and then polished to create durable blades. Such axes symbolize the transition from hunter-gatherer to agrarian lifestyles and are often found in archaeological contexts that illustrate early human craftsmanship and societal organization. They are valued not only as tools but also as cultural artifacts embodying Neolithic innovation.
