Which outcome occurred when early bronze tools experienced repetitive impact?

💡 Explanation

Work hardening from impacts induced crystalline dislocations; because the bronze's ductility decreased, causing increased brittleness near the tool's edge. Therefore, the edge fractured rather than deforming, requiring re-sharpening, rather than undergoing annealing improvements.
