The first hand axes (also known as bifaces) are usually called Acheulean / Acheulian, named after the site of gravel quarries in the suburb of Saint-Acheul in Amiens, France. Acheulean stone tools are the products of Homo erectus, ancestor to modern humans. Not only are the Acheulean tools found over the largest area, but it is also the longest-running industry, lasting for over a million years until relatively recent times.

The pilum was a javelin used by the roman army. It was generally about 2 meters, well over 6 feet in length overall, about the same as the spear shown here, and weighted anywhere from 2 to 5kg (4.5-11lbs). The spear shown here would have been lighter than the roman pilum, which had a heavy iron tip and shank attached to a wooden shaft and which had a max range of approximately 33meters (100ft), although the effective accurate range was more like 15-20m (50-70 feet). This is certainly a good enough range for hunting, just as it was bringing down apposing soldiers for the roman army.
