The upper Michigan peninsula has thousands, some say ten thousand or more, aboriginal extraction pits for native [natural pure] copper in its ore form, and nuggets of "drift" or glacially transported copper occur as far south as northern Illinois, one weighing hundred of kilos.

Were copper axes in general use in pre-Columbian Mexico? Were they pure 
copper, or were they alloys that bordered on the hardness of bronze? 
What about bronze axes?

I am doing my own research online about this, but I will be grateful for 
any information or tips on where to look.
