Cov cuab yeej tua hluav taws yog ib qho yuav tsum muaj rau kev tua hluav taws uas feem ntau tsis saib xyuas los ntawm lwm tus thiab tuaj yeem siv tau thaum nws xav tau ceev. Tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau niaj hnub no cov tsev siab siab, nrog ntau cov ntoo, yas thiab ntaub kho kom zoo nkauj, ib zaug muaj hluav taws, yog tias tsis muaj cov khoom siv tua hluav taws zoo, nws yuav ua rau muaj kev puas tsuaj loj.
Cov hluav taws tua hluav taws nyob rau hauv ancient sij hawm yog heev yooj yim, tsis muaj dab tsi ntau tshaj li hooks, axes, shovels, thoob thiab lwm yam.
