I found a 4,000-6,000 year old (4,000-2,000 BCE) Native American copper spear point while metal detecting a street tearout in Minnesota. That sort of puts AD 600 – 1000 into a new perspective.

And the first known stone spear points date back to around 460,000 years ago, which really puts the period when metal weapon use began into perspective.

Even that is millions of years after the first use of stone hand axes and other tools though.

Helge in Denmark is always some 50 year old dude with thick square glasses, and is an expert in some technical field.
