Exhibited: A displayed in the Andrews Gallery as part of the 'Assembling Bodies' exhibition March 2009-November 2010. Display label noted 'These Neolithic axes are displayed in a circle, according to their size (from the smallest to the longest, in a clockwise direction). This unusual and apparently random arrangement reflects a real process in archaeological typology. Size can be an important indicator in understanding the different tool uses. For instance, the small axes were used for fine woodwork, the larger ones were employed as efficient forest-clearance axes and the long narrow tools were chisels.'
