BATTLE AXES The two battle axes pictured here were found many years ago in northern Europe. Stone clubs and battle axes were used by many different cultures all over the world over a period of thousands of years. Extra care was taken to make stone weapons because they were some of the most important tools ancient peoples owned. In some ways, the European battle axes might be compared to stone spuds. The lower axe weights 485 grams which is the same weight as a couple of the spuds illustrated in this article. Like these battle axes, spuds were also very well crafted. Many people believe that some stone spuds were
probably used as battle axes. Age," Shafthole battleaxes are so generally found in single graves that the people of the single-grave culture have been named Battleaxe Folk, and their graves axe-graves."
