Adze

Dictionaries describe adze as a cutting tool shaped somewhat like an axe that dates back to the Stone Age. They are used for smoothing or carving wood by hand, similar to an axe but with cutting edge perpendicular to the handle - a peculiarity because of which it is often used in only self-serving attitudes.

The neolithic settlement in the Slatina neighbourhood will become one of the tourist attractions of the Bulgarian capital next year.

This was announced by Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova, Cross news agency reports.

The settlement is 8000 years old and is the oldest in the Sofia valley.
