Cheers!

There's some good stuff in there. I've not read much on the subject of the axes, but it's piqued my interest since seeing flakes of andesite that look like by products of roughing out. They have that 'conchoidal' (?) thing going on that you see with flint.

I'm especially interested in the sites/methods used in finishing off the axes. Were they up the top, by the cave, or down the bottom, by the beck?

I hear Richard Bradley's axe trade book discusses the issue. I must get a copy.
