Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports the discovery in 1992 of what was initially thought to be a Late-Neo-EBA macehead. It has since been more correctly defined as a shafthole adze, unusual for the west of England despite being quarried there. It is thought likely that other `maceheads' on the Cornish SMR may also be adzes. A search of the findspot area produced a few flint flakes and sherds of BA pot. The debate surrounding the function, ceremonial or otherwise, attributable to this class of object remains unresolved though a two-fold explanation, including elements of the practical and ritual, is currently considered feasible. | ||||
