AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS CULTURE AXE HEAD MADE GENERALLY OF VOLCANIC ROCK. THEY BEGAN AS LARGE FLAKES, RIVER COBBLES OR CORES OF STONE, PREPARED INTO A USEABLE SHAPE USUALLY BY HAMMER DRESSING THEN ONE EDGE WAS SHARPENED, USUALLY BY GRINDING. SOMETIMES HATCHETS AND AXES WERE HAFTED INTO A WOODEN OR CANE HANDLE SO THEY COULD BE USED FOR CHOPPING AND CLEAVING WOOD AND BARK.
