Geological mapping has established that the volcanic tuff used for the axes outcrops along a narrow range of the highest peaks in the locality. |
|
The Langdale tuff was among the most common of the various rocks used to make axes in the Neolithic period, and are known as Group VI axes. |
|
The stone axes from Langdale have been found at archaeological sites across Britain and Ireland. |
|
He mentions possible religious significance of the axes, perhaps related to the high peaks from which they came. |
|
This is notable considering there were over 30 sources of material for stone axes from Cornwall to northern Scotland and Ireland. |
|
The shape of the polished axes suggests that they were bound in wooden staves and used for forest clearance. |
|
The Langdale industry was one of many which extracted hard stone for manufacture into polished axes. |
|
It is also likely that bluestone axes were exported from the Preseli hills in Pembrokeshire. |
|
Likewise, the rocks or anvils used to polish the axes are rare in Britain but common in France and Sweden. |
|
Current thinking links the manufacturers of the axes to some of the first Neolithic stone circles such as that at Castlerigg. |
|
In cold winters the waterfall freezes providing local mountaineers with an icy challenge that can be climbed with ice axes, ropes and crampons. |
|
Most of this work is typically done by hand, using such basic tools as machetes, axes, hoes, and makeshift shovels. |
|
|
Using those two axes, you gain a broad view but also one that has depth. |
|
East Africa has yielded the oldest known stone hand axes and picks, examples of what researchers call the Acheulian industry. |
|
Archaeologists categorize stone hand axes and related implements as Acheulian tools. |
|
They spent hours laboriously chopping wood with bluntish axes. |
|
He found Acheulian handaxes, ground stone axes, stone querns, and pottery. |
|
Thence once more the crew came on with swords and axes, but faint-heartedly, and the end of it was that they lost some more men dead and wounded and fell back again. |
|
The plan of the finished building is built around two major axes. |
|
The thunderstones of one generation become the flint axes of the next. |
|
Langdale was an important site during the Neolithic period for producing stone axes, and was also one of the centres of the Lakeland slate industry. |
|
Outwardly, the rotary-vane woofer operates much like a fan, but with the ability of the blades to twist back and forth around their axes at audio frequencies. |
|
It will be a while yet before the crampons and ice axes are packed away. |
|
Abu Zafar said Nepalese Sherpas had reached Camp 3 and found equipment such as crampons and ice axes which were vital for the climbers to surviving on the mountain. |
|
This recapitulative scheme reveals that all the composite verses of the Song of the Sea are symmetrically organized around axes once the song is set in crossresponsa fashion. |
|
It's controlled by molecules called morphogens, which form concentration gradients along the head-to-tail axis, or other axes, of developing embryos. |
|
These axes were flat and hafted much like their stone predecessors. |
|
Some axes appear worn whilst others appear unused, again implying that they were regarded as sacred objects or, perhaps, simply as a display of visible wealth. |
|
Hafted axes with short handles designed for use with one hand are often called hand axes but the term hand axe refers to axes without handles as well. |
|
Most modern axes have steel heads and wooden handles, typically hickory in the US and ash in Europe and Asia, although plastic or fibreglass handles are also common. |
|
The Bronze Age in Ireland commenced around 2000 BC, when copper was alloyed with tin and used to manufacture Ballybeg type flat axes and associated metalwork. |
|
The dimensions between the piece and the tool bit can be changed about two axes to cut both vertically and horizontally into the internal surface. |
