Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- KOLO Z OSJO Med vzorčenjem lesa v enem od drenažnih jarkov na kolišču Stare Gmajne v Verdu pri Vrhniki so arheologi leta 2002 odkrili dva čolna deblaka in kolo z osjo, ki je pripadalo dvokolesnemu vozu. Kolo je sestavljeno iz dveh jesenovih plošč, ki sta spojeni s štirimi hrastovimi zagozdami. Os je izdelana iz enega kosa hrastovega lesa, zaključek je pravokotne oblike in nalega v odprtino kolesa. Izbor lesa, upoštevanje krčenja in raztezanja ter način pritrjevanja in spajanja kažejo na spretnega kolarja in poznavalca lesnih vrst. 5.200 let staro kolo z osjo je po tehnološki dovršenosti edinstveno v svetovnem merilu.

The wheel is com¬posed of two ash wood plates, joined with four oak wedges. The axle is made from a single piece of oak wood, with a rectangular ending fitting into the opening of the wheel. The choice of wood, consideration of wood movement, and joinery details all suggest that this was the work of a skilled wheelwright who knew the properties of different types of wood. Due to its technological perfection, the 5,200 year-old-wheel with an axle is a unique artefact on a global scale.
