| Hi Postie it doesn't look like a typical Graig Lwyd type VII axe it's too elongated and the rounded face doesn't quite fit. However there are stone implements that do roughly fit this shape and a stone axe deposited in water could be significant. A couple of profile shots of the stone would be useful, is there any trace of a blade? I would suggest that you take it along to your local museum or friendly archeo for a more informed opinion. If you are interested in stone axes I can recommend Stone axe studies: archaeological, petrological, experimental and ethnographic T H McK Clough and W A Cummins (Editors) it's available on-line at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/cba/rr23.cfm with volume 2 here http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/cba/rr67.cfm Be prepared to be told that it's just water-eroded stone though. I could fill a skip with stones that resemble implements from my beach. cheers fitz Reply | with quote |  14th July 2006ce 21:35 In reply to: Help ,is this a stone axe (postman) |
