Abstract
This article dissects the methodological toolbox of essences referred to as the Mesolithic, attempting to grasp its calculus. The autopsy then sets about investigating the reductionist problems of essentialism and androcentrism that have spread throughout the Mesolithic project like a malign cancer. Especially the insistent practice to sex supposedly important things and activities as male is confronted. The mass grave at Strøby Egede, eastern Zealand, Denmark, serves as a very detailed example. An effort is thereafter made to convey some of its sociohistorical specificity.
