chisel pick Explanation: My suggestion (I imagine ciseaux to refer to chisel rather than scissors, in the context). |

hand axe or stone age tool Explanation: If the photos in Pascale's answer are correct for pic-ciseaux, then the only possible answer is hand axe: see link below However, more generally, they are simply referred to as stone age tools, although this does include arrow heads as well.

Reference: Explication et réf. pour pics-ciseaux Reference information: Forme de petit pic avec une extrémité aménagée comme un ciseau, c'est pourquoi ils sont appelés souvent 'pics-ciseaux'. Voir http://www.la-detection.com/dp/message-105937.htm. J'ai effacé ma proposition de traduction qui ne m'inspirait pas confiance ;-) |
