 Battle axe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Axes could be designed as throwing weapons as well (see the Francisca for an example).
Battle axes were also common in Northern Europe in the "Viking Age" (9th and 10th C) and up to the 16 Century, see Viking Age arms and armour.
Most medieval European battle axes had broad, socketed heads (meaning that the axe head has an opening into which the haft is inserted.), and some included long strips of metal (langets) along the haft to prevent the haft from being damaged during battle.

 Handprint : Ancestral Tools
Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages (basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool), with variations in tools created by variations in the procedures at each stage.
Because tools were combined with other components (handles, spear shafts) and used in wider applications (dressing hides, shaping wood tools, hunting large game), Mousterian technology was the keystone for many interrelated manufacturing activities in other materials.
Given the adaptation of tool forms to other material activities that appears in the Mousterean industry, these regional styles are probably not just stylistic variations but reflect the adaptation of tools to specific materials and the hunting and manufacturing requirements of different ecologies and social economies.
