A Canaanite Bronze Socketed Axe Head
Middle Bronze Age; “Age of the Patriarchs/Time of Abraham”; c. 2100-1550 BCE This short, slender axe is made of cast bronze and was designed specifically in response to the advancement of armor technology occurring at this time.

So efficient and popular was this axe type that is found in abundance in warrior's graves from the Middle Bronze Age throughout Palestine.
