Real life context
- Stone tools - English Wikipedia article
- The polished axes - Neolithic axes from northern Europe
- Video on making a wooden handle for a stone axe
Stone axes are some of the oldest human tools, possibly even older than the oldest stone knives. They developed from rudimentary "hand-axes" without handles, with wooden handles becoming increasingly common and standard in the later Paleolithic and the Neolithic. These hafted stone axes became the ancestors of all later metal axes, including the copper, bronze and iron axes seen in later prehistory and antiquity.
