The axes from Tievebulliagh were only roughed out at the quarry, but were taken to the beach to be finished. Old habits dying hard? I have been looking through a 1966 book, by Jack G Scott, the Regional Archaeologies of South West Scotland. It is fairly detailed covering from the mesolithic through to the iron age. It does seem that a number of rough outs were also found around the Luce Bay area, perhaps showing some trading taking place. A number of jadeite axe heads were found around Luce Bay, Wigtown Bay and Kirkcudbright Bay. Are you thinking that there perhaps might be some possible long lost axe factory, maybe somewhere in the Galloway hills, on the trade route from Strathclyde down to Galloway?
