The Neolithic Quarries and Axe Factory Sites of Great Langdale and Scafell Pike: A New Field Survey
The central massif of the Lake District around Great Langdale and Scafell Pike was one of the major locations for the production of Neolithic, polished stone axes. In response to the continuing erosion of the axe production sites a field survey was undertaken in 1984 and 1985. 566 distinct working sites were identified, within 35 groups; each site was recorded and the site data and high-scale survey plans are presented in microfiche. A fourfold c…

Petrography and stone implements
Early macroscopic studies of prehistoric stone implements were not very fruitful. The technique of thin‐sectioning, however, enables rocks to be described in detail. Comparisons based on mineralogy and texture allow petrological groups to be established, some of which can be traced to working areas, others to more general sources. Limitations within which the petrologist must work are described, and the archaeologist is cautioned to be aware of t…
Third Supplement of the Catalogue of Jade Axes from Sites in the British Isles
When Dr Campbell Smith published and compiled his first account and catalogue of British jade implements he did not think, he tells us, that many more would be found. For this reason he adopted a numbering system based on counties, as is done for all other stone implements, but with numbers running consecutively through the English, Scottish and Irish counties. When new finds came to light it was difficult to assign to them numbers in the county …
