That is neat. I wonder if the axe head is stone or bronze?
The preservation of the handle is spectacular. Probably a very low oxygen pond, the Windover Bog site here in Florida has preserved brain tissues, bone, woven cloth, etc.Hong Kong, but from Indiana/Florida

Seriously can someone tell me why they call that little thing an axe? It looks more like a toy than an axe.Michigan Yooper

Boat axes or Boat style battle axes are an example, many have surprising small hafting holes so I'm unsure how useful they would have been. The gouges are knapped and polished from flint. Some slightly later Bronze Age groups made the classic danish daggers that are a copy of Bronze Age knives.

I cannot believe no one else figured this out…it wasn’t an axe. Nor was it a toy.
My friends, the man was found in a golf course pond. He was clearly golfing, likely retrieving his ball when he met his untimely demise.
Gentlemen and women, what we have here is the first known golf club. A 3 iron I assume.
