Prehistoric Stone Axe - Ancient Tool Illustration & Archaeological Insight #3000480 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts a typical Neolithic hand axe, featuring a bifacially flaked stone head secured to a hardwood handle via tightly wrapped cordage-likely sinew, rawhide, or plant fibers. The wood grain and tool wear suggest functional use in woodworking, hunting, or construction. Such axes represent a major technological leap in the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition.
