In archaeology, a celt is a long, thin, prehistoric, stone or bronze tool similar to an adze, hoe, or axe used primarily for cutting and shaping. Typically made from hard stones like granite or basalt, they are often polished for a smoother finish. They were strapped onto a piece of wood to be used. Celt tools were commonly used by ancient cultures for woodworking and agricultural tasks.
They come in various shapes, often resembling a small axe or chisel. These tools date back to the Neolithic period and are found in many parts of the world. AI
