Most artifact collectors are men and many work-a-day women's tools have been given macho names. Theres the "Ceremonial Dagger" with serrations on one side that was actually used for scaling fish. There's the big spearhead that was really some nice lady's mussel opening knife. Then theres the drills, that were mostly perforators and part of a woman's sewing kit. And theres the warrior's tomahawk head that was actually used by a woman to cut firewood and so on and so on.
