This tiny miniature of a hand
axe is a nice piece of work, but certainly of more aesthetic
than practical value, as this variation of the limestone is too
soft for a tool so small. It and numerous other items of
varying size (e.g., the wing-shaped scrapers) were apparently
made from a quantity of the light-colored limestone carried to
the top of the hill from the stratum about 24m (80') vertically
and 140m (450') horizontally distant. |
