A stone axe from Muntenia (Romania). An imitation of a bronze age metal axe? ...

  • TITLU în română: Un topor de piatră din Muntenia (România). O imitaţie a unui topor metalic din epoca bronzului?...
  • Subiect: „The Bronze Age lithic industry has left valuable testimonies in the realm of archeology. Although, unlike the Aeneolithic, the stone objects’ inventory goes through modifications, in particular of typology, however, some categories of objects will achieve a high technological level. We refer here to stone axes, which in many cases can not be regarded merely as tools, but become real weapons or even social symbols. This is also the case of the hereby presented artefact, found somewhere in Muntenia, and being part of the collections of the “Vasile Pârvan” Museum in Bârlad (inventory no. 3720). Although we do not know precisely the place where the stone ax was discovered, we chose to introduce it in the scientific circuit due to its exquisite appearance. In addition, certain morphological features indicate a possible imitation of metal artefacts, and this detail requires special attention.”
