EUROPEAN PREHISTORIC ARTIFACTS

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED!

This rare Northern European flint ( silex ) artifact is called
"Hammerstone Crushing stone of flint" and belongs to the Late Paleolithic - Mesolithic Maglemose Culture from 8900-6400 bc. After younger Dryas the climate became warmer. Soon the reindeer disappeared, the people of the wood now aimed at against game such as moose, aurochs, bear, roe deer and red deer. Arrowheads and the so-called microliths, was made from small flakes. To handle the wood, of which there was a plenty of in the new forests, the Maglemose Culture invented axes made of flint. The Maglemose Culture, which was named after settlements in the Maglemose bog at Mullerup in Western zealand, developed in the continental phase (pre-boreal and boreal), when present Denmark was part of the European continent and connected with England. Outside Southern Scandinavia Maglemose settlements are found in the North-Western European flatland from Poland, Northern Germany to England. Boats (presumably dugouts) played an important role in transport and in fishing, which had great importance for the hunters` economy. From the inland settlements heavy fishing hooks and leisters indicates intensive fishing after for instance wels and pike. The most of settlements were situated on peninsulas and islands in the great lakes of that time. Changes in flaking technique and types of microlithis forms the basis of the division of the Maglemose Cultures in six phases: The earlier part (phase 0, 1, 2) is characterized by lancet-shaped microliths and rather irregular flakes. The younger Maglemose Culture (phase 3, 4, 5) is characterized by slim triangle-shaped microliths and regular flakes made from pressure-technique.
Hammerstones of flint are more or less lumpy flints, often nodules or shattered cores, with abrasions on the surface showing that they were used as hammer-stones for striking or crushing. Size mostly 60-100 mms.
Found everywhere in Palaeolithic, Mesolithic cultures in Denmark and abroad.
Provenance is an old collection. More details will follow the artifact. I guarantee absolutely for the authenticity of this beautiful Stone Age flint tool. Please view also my other auctions with relics from the European Prehistory.
