The people there were lumberjacks and cutted the trees for the purpose of coal made out of the wood in a near village called Großreifling. Therefore the axe is clear. The other instrument, a boat-hook, was used for transport of the wood on the river Salza to Großreifling. With it the timbers were held together will rafting it.
