NICE CLUB
I HAVE A THEORY WHICH MEANS I HAVE NOT READ IT IN A BOOK ALL THOUGH IT MAY BE OUT THERE.
MOST IF NOT ALL AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINALS LIVED AND TRAVELED IN SMALL GROUPS SO HAD FEW BELONGINGS. THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN LIKELY CARRIED THE FEW BELONGINGS IN NET BAGS SUCH AS ARE STILL IN USE IN NEW GUINEA THEY ARE CALLED BILLUM IN NEW GUINEA AND DILLY BAG OR SWAG IN AUSTRALIA IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.
WHILE WALKING ABOUT EVERYONE WAS CONSTANTLY ON THE LOOK OUT FOR ANYTHING TO EAT OR IN OTHER WAYS USEFUL. ALL OF THEM LIKELY CARRIED A CLUB OF SOME FORM PERHAPS SOME CARRIED A SPECIALIZED ONE SUCH AS YOURS. YOUR EXAMPLE COULD BE THROWN AT FOOD CRITTERS OR USED TO STRIKE OR BEAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. IT DIFFERS FROM MANY WITH SHARP ENDS WHICH ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS DIGGING STICKS. THE ENDS ON YOURS WOULD SERVE AS A PESTLE BUT MAKE A POOR DIGGING STICK AND THE DIGGING STICK A POOR PESTLE. A NOMADIC GROUP WOULD NEED SUCH A TOOL WEAPON. JUST MY THOUGHTS ON IT
