Neolithic Tranchet Axe (Yonne, France)

A genuine neolithic tranchet axe. This tool carries handwritten archival ink from 1971. It was recovered by the noted French researcher Marcel Nardin, a specialist in the Neolithic cultures of the Paris Basin, during a field survey on 14 July 1971 at the "La Charrière" locality. Linking back to the Cerny or Chasséen cultures, this axe represents the transition to settled farming life in the fertile valleys of prehistoric France.

Comes with an acrylic display stand and label, as pictured.

This is genuine artifact. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.

Size: 5.5 inch | Age: Middle Neolithic (c. 4200 - 3500 BC) | Found: Mont-Saint-Sulpice, Yonne (Dept. 89), France
