 Do you have any ideas how the Celtic bronze axe in the Bronze Age got to Laos?

There was no trump card in my sleeve
I had to look in someone else's sleeve.

OK, so the 'Balance Axe' is also a bit weird, iron head and not Bronze Age. And it doesn't have an extened haft to get in the way of chopping, tho why they have the long wood counter-weight is also a bit unclear. |

re-ren, the axe's haft in your post is not Bronze Age. As noted in the video I posted, wood doesn't survive from that old. Except now some has... at Must Farm.
See below for a better 'reconstruction' — and some just found in an English bog* where the wood actually WAS preserved along with a bunch of (20) socketed axe heads. They attached the head to a branch off the main tree trunk along with a trimmed section of the trunk which formed a bent elbow. They also found a bunch of other stuff, tools, swords, etc. in remarkable condition. Just a bit of mud keeping them from looking new. Top: reconstruction Middle: found haft — they found a bunch just like this. Bottom: Axe heads. Edited: Added one they found with an intact haft *- Must Farm, UK dig.
