Rob Sands explores the evidence left by the use of axes on wooden
beams and tools found in waterlogged archaeological sites dating
over 2000 years old. A toolmark can not only inform the
archaeologist about the implement used, but also provides evidence
of building and artifact construction methods and labor patterns.
Examples come from the author's work at Oakbank Crannog in
Scotland. The volume examines the methods of recording, techniques
of analysis and implications of this unusual form of evidence.
