Why polished stone ax is still important tool even up to this day

Preffered Answer:

Polished stone axes and adzes appeared in Bohemia first in the Early Neolithic with the LBK Culture. For the first farming communities, stone axes were of extraordinary importance. Since extensive deforestation made available initial areas for agricultural food production, polished stone tools used for clearance became true symbols of domestication. The custom of depositing hoards of stone axes or roughouts had already started in this period (VENCL 1975). This practice may be explained as a reflection of exchange and distribution of raw materials and ARTEFACTS or as votive offerings. Soon after their apparent introduction into the material culture of the first farmers, stone axes and adzes that were primarily produced for a PRACTICAL function became objects of increased value and prestige. Some of the massive shoe-adzes or axe-hammers were obviously too large and heavy to be used as functional tools. They seem to demonstrate the technological ability, to manufacture and PRODUCE such an enormous artefact might have some significance in social interactions as a prestigious object. This is why the stone axes and other stone tools are advantageous as well as important even today. PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST.
