An example of a hafted axe similar to the one the unearthed flakes would have come from. [Stuart Hay, ANU.]

Oh, they really do mean an Axe tool, not slang for a guitar.

[Jack Hammer]

No sweat - it’s a Craftsman.

[Redleg Duke]

I wondered where I left that!

[Salgak]

And in related news, America’s oldest battleaxe was found to be resident in Chappaqua, NY. . .

[GingisK]

Product labeling was certainly crude back then.

[samtheman]

Interesting

Looks like a rock to me

I got a whole bunch of hatchets in my drive then

[central_va]

A long time age some guy spent hours looking for that.

‘At’s no’ a knife.

[Daffy]

I say bogus.

[IronJack]

If it was a battle axe, I’d suggest they were describing Hillary Clinton.

[JimRed]

They didn’t find an axe as the headline states: they found flakes that they ASSUME came from the manufacture of an axe. Could they be assuming wrongly?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Wonder where the world’s oldest battleaxe is? I have met quite a few, but they were younger. Maybe in contention for the fiercest, but nowhere near the oldest.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Interesting! Thanks for posting it.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And nearby this awesome finding was the world’s oldest severed head.

[minnesota_bound]

Used to fight off crocodiles and Megalania, giant 15ft lizards and the Diprotodon wombat and marsupial lion and Dromornis stirtoni - a big mean 10ft bird and Tasmanian Tigers.

[TigersEye]

Does this mean that I’m appropriating their culture
when I split firewood now and I have to stop it?

[Alas Babylon!]

[blam]

I want to axe you something.

[central_va]

Probably imported from China.
