Oxford University researchers have unearthed new evidence from the lake basin in Botswana that suggests that the region was once much drier and wetter than it is today. drier AND wetter

That really narrows it down.

What were they doing out on the lake with big hand axes like that? Trying to conk a plethiosaur on the head?

They have documented thousands of stone tools on the lake bed

Must be one of those programs to reduce stockpile of weapons...

Makes it hard for them to be wrong.

Kind of like 'global change'.

Seem too large to be useful. How does their size compare with that of other stone axes?

I’m no archeologist so how do they know these are axe heads and not adzes or plows or some other implement?

Yes ... but they had to put giant stone-age axes in their pockets to stay there.
