Rock physics and the circulation of Neolithic axeheads in Central Europe and the western Mediterranean

Slightly retrograded rocks for edge-ground tool manufacture were used in two different supply systems during recent European prehistory. Mechanical properties of five of these rock types were tested to determine if the most exploited and circulated materials were also the most adequate ones. A serie...
