This volume builds upon the model of the first Stone Axe Studies
volume published in 1979. It explores how scholars from various
parts of the world currently approach these distinctive items. Some
papers are united by specific material, such as those working on
Jadeite axe blades in western and Central Europe. For others, the
link is analytical (e.g., the development of new geochemical
techniques), contextual (e.g., work on techniques of hafting or on
patterns of deposition) or conceptual (e.g., the uses made of
ethno-historic and related models). Taken together, they document
the state of the art in stone axe research in Britain and abroad,
at the same time providing a much needed basis for comparative
study and for debate regarding analytical and interpretative
issues.
