Hi Tim

Thanks for the information here. I will go over it in depth when I have a little time.

I think you're right regading the way these items and knapped.

I think there's an enormous amount of labour and artistry that goes into making these particular axe heads. From boring the hole to finding appropriate rocks to knapping and smoothing them into that shape.

I have a couple of aboriginal handaxes which I think you will find interesting if you love stone implements. And they illustrate your point very well.

I'll post them in the next couple of days.
