This is a boataxe from younger stone age, about 3000 years old - and some parts of its owner at the time this axe was in use.
Tye name comes from the axe design, it looks like a boat.
This type of axe was first knacked out coarse and then grinded to perfektion. We have found a lot of this type of axe - and it have been discussed during centuries what it was good for and what it can perform - ans the answer is probebly - nothing, it was probebly a sign of some kind.
For long time historians think it was a battle axe, made to crush sculls. It is still a possibilitie - but why have a special axe for just sculls? Cermonial human offerings by crushing sculls? Perhaps - but we cannot find and crushing sculls with holes from this type of axe...
Any way, it is beutiful made, a piece of art.
