A short video to introduce the socketed axes from the Must Farm settlement excavations. More information can be found on our website www.mustfarm.co...
It also explains why the socket heads are more pronuced then normal so that it doesn't slip when using better cordage, or cordage made from wild grasses and or bark
Honestly i look at these and the look like they can be used in the same way stone hand axes, the ones with no handle, can be used similer to holding a chisel and having a wood insert you can switch out for finer wood working using a mallet in conjunction with it using the loop to wrap cordage around the tool with the cast marks being purposely left to use to bite into the cordage
i liked the video where they showed how the objects were, inside the houses, pots over here, animals on that side.. etc.. what seems to be big space in the middle rather than a hearth.. axes found over here in this corner.. and so on and so on... and then they laid everything out (the finds) on a large floor to clearly see how it was all laid out/left when it had to be abandoned.. so interesting isn it.. And the textiles! fantastic.. 🙂
This is a truly fascinating site, thank you for your videos.
So many questions. The making and where? sharpening, trading, for what?

Loving all the must farm videos. Where is the best place to get up to speed with all the discoveries found so far please?
