EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of axes belonging to the Catalan Grave Culture, also known as the Culture of the Grave with Pit Graves, which flourished in the Neolithic period around 2800-2500 BC in the regions of Spain and Catalonia. The image is part of the extensive collection housed at the Sabadell History Museum in Sabadell, Spain. The Catalan Grave Culture is renowned for its unique burial practices, which involved placing the deceased in pits surrounded by various offerings, including these vertical axes. The axes, made primarily from local materials such as slate, were an essential tool for the Neolithic communities of the time, used for a variety of tasks including forestry, agriculture, and craft production. The axes in this photograph are particularly noteworthy for their vertical orientation, which is a distinctive feature of the Catalan Grave Culture. This orientation is believed to have symbolic significance, possibly representing the connection between the living and the dead, or the link between the earth and the heavens. The necropolis where these axes were discovered is located in Ripollet, a town in the province of Barcelona, and is known as "La Bòbila de Padrós Ot." This site is just one of many that have contributed to our understanding of the Catalan Grave Culture and the ways of life of the Neolithic communities that inhabited the region thousands of years ago.
