The Minoan Double Axe. An experimental study of production and use

Maria Lowe Fri Oxford 2011

The Minoan Double Axe. An experimental study of production and use This study investigates the double axe as a tool in Crete during the Minoan period.

The working activities performed by the different users plausibly would have left various kinds of use-wear on the axe, but this has not been studied until now.
