Discovery of historical hand axes at Museum Het Pakhuis in Ermelo

At Museum Het Pakhuis in Ermelo, they are very enthusiastic about the hand axes that turned up in a box of stuff. “We were called by the thrift store asking if we wanted to look at a box with a special find,” says director Patrick van Reeuwijk. When they received the photo, they immediately recognized that it concerns two historical hand axes. “I estimate that they are from the Late Stone Age. So you are talking about about 5,000 years ago.”
