- Abstract
The wood, being a commonly existing versatile material, has indeed played a vital role in all human history. Since the wood is the most vulnerable to decomposition, the wood artefacts of the prehistoric period have rarely survived, except in the extraordinary conditions for preservation. Some of the excavations in the prehistoric sites revealed the multipurpose use of wood as digging sticks, firewood and other purposes by the prehistoric men. The tradition of erecting wooden stems as an embodiment of deity and worshipping them has been found in many countries in the ancient times.
