A rugged, almond-shaped tool chipped from flint or chert, with sharp edges flaked by hand through percussion. This bifacial artifact—knapped on both sides—was the Swiss Army knife of early humans: used for chopping wood, butchering animals, and shaping other tools. Its pointed tip and rounded base made it ergonomic for gripping, while its symmetry hinted at early cognitive skill. Often found in Acheulean sites, these axes date back over 1.6 million years, marking a leap in human ingenuity.
