<dc:description xml:lang="en"><![CDATA[The symbolic culture at the end of the Palaeolithic and the beginning of the Mesolithic is still poorly investigated. In our study, we looked for new perspectives on the execution of symbolic objects and their manner-of-use. In Northern and Central Europe Late Palaeolithic societies one finds carefully crafted bone and antler artefacts covered with painstakingly engraved ornaments, and also, figurines of animals made of amber. These objects were not used as tools, were held onto for many years, and apparently played a central role in the social and religious life of the forager groups. A symbol more significant than others appears to be the pattern of densely engraved zigzag lines. Its literal meaning is no longer available to us at present, nevertheless, it is likely to be related to the aquatic element, the reflection of the growing role of the aquatic environment in everyday life and in the symbolic culture. The wide distribution of densely engraved zigzag motif noted across Northern Europe suggests a free flow of information, ideas and beliefs within an open relationship network connecting different groups. In the early Mesolithic finds decorated with densely engraved zigzag lines concentrate in two regions: in what today is Denmark, and in central and south-western Finland, with some rare finds recorded in the British Isles and in the eastern Baltic region. Simple anthropomorphic motifs in the stroke style are known mostly from the islands of Denmark. This geographically confined distribution of this distinctive style is related presumably to the emergence of socio-cultural borders which separated societies with different traditions, organization and culture system.]]></dc:description>
