Stone axe

-3000/-1000

Tallinn City Museum

Tallinn City Museum
Tallinn, Estonia

The axe itself is small but the shaft hole is big. The axe became smaller and smaller due to the frequent sharpening, which means that it was probably used during a long period and was an important tool for its owner. The use-wear marks on the backside of the axe indicate that it has also been used as a hammer.

The stone axe was found by accident while digging a ditch near Saha chapel.
