Bronze Age Bronze Axe Head Circa 2nd-1st millennium BC This nice example of a bronze axe head features a tubular shaft and a long blade flaring slightly downwards. Bronze axes were essential tools and weapons, widely used from around 3300 to 1200 BC. Crafted from an alloy of copper and tin, these axes represented a significant technological advancement over earlier stone tools. They were primarily used for cutting wood, clearing land, and in some cases, as weapons in battle.
