NORTHERN EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description These wonderful patinated Danish Mesolithic flint( silex) artifacts are flakes/ blade knives! Of wonderful marble like patinated flint! The artifacts belong to the Mesolithic Ertebølle- Ellerbek- Culture( Kitchen Midden Culture 5400-4000 bc) This culture came into existence at the end of the Mesolithic period around 5400 BC and lasted to 4000 BC. The center of the Ertebolle culture is believed to have been Denmark but this people also lived in southern Scandinavia. Finland, northern Germany and Poland, and the Netherlands, which was roughly the same area as where later the Funnelbeaker people and the Germans lived. The Ertebolle people mainly lived from hunting. Gathering, and fishing, they used stone tools and left large piles of shells( kitchen middens) ... moreat the beaches that are still there today, the shells may have been left there as offerings to a seagod though a more plausible explanation is that they simply used such places to dump their waste. The Ertebolle culture probably also believed in an afterlife because they buried their dead in cemetaries with gravegifts, in Sweden archeologists have even found dog burials like for instance the one in Skateholm, the Ertebolle people also made woodcarvings and used canoes for fishing. Provenance is an old collection. More details will follow the knives. I guarantee absolutely for the authenticity of these artifacts from the Northern European Stone Age.
