Don't tell Jerry that it's not an axehead but a hole punch, probably
for mammoth skin. Course if it is and Neandertal what are the odds it
was used for building shelters. An all but trivial and unimportant
find.
See now on Shikoku they had axe heads from 4 to 6,000 years ago,
that actually look like modern metal axe heads. More importantly they
had shell carved hooks for harvesting sea weed and bone carved hooks
identical to modern metal fish hooks that were about half the
diameter of the modern hand. Of course these have no importance
whatsoever because there is no connection to scandinavians or kook-
ass theories.
And of course we need not mention the hole punches found with homo
floreinsis on flores island either, as they were short, darkskinned
'pathologicals' akin to those skrealings that unfortunately prevented
Norse from founding a permanent colony in the new world. Right,
Jerry?
