In this video I make a Neolithic (New Stone Age) polished hand axe. These tools were made by the earliest humans to help them process foods, wood and construct more tools. This period of time was 10,200 BC and was the last part of the Stone Age when farming began. It ended when metal tools, such as Copper and Bronze, became widespread. Many Neolithic Stone tools were polished and ground down by another stone to be formed as I demonstrate in this video. By using this technique the tool becomes very durable and requires less maintenance than chipped or flaked stone. Typically the types of stone used are granite, basalt, rhyolite and other igneous and cryptocrystalline rocks. This is a piece of basalt stone. As you can see these tools were very effective for the time period.
