These stone axes in the collection originally came from Denmark. The stone axes were made during the late Mesolithic or
Neolithic period. They were used to cut down trees as agriculture was
expanding into Denmark. This was between 6000 B.C. and 1000 B.C. The tools were
made of flint which is a great stone to make tools from and is found throughout
Denmark. The use of the flint made the tools sharp and able to cut through what
it needed to. These axes are a unique and interesting artifact that is not
something you would normally find in New Jersey (Written
