An Ethno European tool/weapon ... or just weapon

An interesting item. Hard to say for sure whether its agricultural or military. I believe some conscripted elements of European armies in the early medieval period, would only be armed with agricultural axes, sythes etc.

Some Roman and Viking period spearheads I've seen have a similar level or corrosion. The hole in the socket for a nail, is a bit unusual...sometimes seen on African spearheads (but it can't be African).
