Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Pebble maceheads, of which eighty-one are detailed in the inventory, have a wide distribution and occur as frequently in the study area as S of the Thames. Rankine's assertion that they belong in the Mesolithic tradition is not disproved, but only one example has been found on a Mesolithic site. On the other hand, these implements appear to have been in use in the Neolithic, lasting until at least EBA; but absolute chronology is lacking, and the comparative evidence too slight to permit many conclusions. Pebble maceheads are assumed to be more primitive than those with modified shapes and cylindrical holes, though they must have coexisted in part with these later forms. Such long usage implies an exclusive function. The larger maceheads may have been hafted for use as hammers, while the smaller ones may have been used with a cord or thong, perhaps as weight or charmstone. "Pebble hammer" might be a more appropriate term, distinguishing them clearly from the quite separate phenomenon of apparently unused maceheads of pestle and ovoid forms. Au(abr) | ||||||||
