Neolithic Boat-Shaped Axes

96
These polished and perforated stone axes (4500–1500 BC) are linked to the Corded Ware culture from late Neolithic Europe. Their aerodynamic shapes imply use in woodworking or battle, while refined finishing suggests ritual purpose. Found near Riga’s Bullupe River, they trace early technological and social development in Baltic prehistory, highlighting the presence of the Ancient Balts.
