A Discussion on the Difference between an Adze and a Celt!

- I have often been asked how I determine what characteristics differentiate an adze from a celt. So I decided to devote a video to this topic to hopefully answer that question. There are definitely distinguishing differences between those two tools and I will show these differences in detail in this video. I'm not an authority on this subject but I have been involved with artifacts for over 33 years and been able to see a lot of good examples for me to determine the differences. This was shot in the mancave so it may have some wind noise but not much,
I would also like to give a shout out to Tuber, Calvin's Corner72. Check out his channel and give him a sub if you like what you see there. I know he would greatly appreciate it and any comments you could give him. He was the one that inspired me to shoot this video after asking me how to tell the difference between an adze and a Celt. - บันเทิง
The need to look for and find good, hard, granite type natural stones (candidates to work into tools) in nature must be embedded in man's DNA. My grandson's do it automatically in creeks and waterways, I've done it too since a child and still love doing it. Your video's are always great and I watch them all.
Great video. I found my first adze earlier this year and it is the prize of my collection. Thanks of the very detailed and authoritative info.
I learn more about artifacts on youtube than I have any where else. Very informative. Thanks.
Wow, just goes to show you don't have to go to a plowed field to find amazing artifacts, apparently local dumpsters hold a few too, haha! Great discussion Ken, thanks for showing us your rescues.
+On the Trail with Dale I often wonder Dale how many collections have ended up in the dumpster, it sickens me to think of it happening. I was so fortunate that the fellow that was about to toss them in took a moment to give me a call and see if I wanted them. I have been donating some of this collection to a local historical society that is in the area where these things were found.
I learned a lot from your video, thanks for sharing your knowledge about adzes and celts.
Nice Learning show , Thanks for putting her out !
What a great talk, Ken! It is great to see the real things and think about the people who made and used these cool tools! I have been working on a new celt for some time now and this video is a good motivator to get it done. Beautiful pieces!....Ben
this is a great comparison! good job. I would say the longer one in the middle was designed to be used as a log splitter. they would tap these in the logs to create bow staves. just a thought. keep the voids coming!
PM52: Thanks so much for informative vid. Wow what a great collection. Keep um coming and we will.be watching. Best wishes from N. E. Texas
Great job Ken. I was wondering that myself.
cant believe someone was throwing away them artifacts awesome save ken.great show and discussion about celts and adze.and the chopper take care.
Great detailed video. I am humbled by the shout out. Thanks
+Calvin's Corner72 I hope you get some new subscribers Calvin. The people on my channel are some of the best of youtube. It is like a family and I hope you meet some awesome new folks through this.
Great information! I haven't seen one of those trade axes before...neat!
Yes Sir! Great video one day ima find me a Celt maybe a hard stone adz!! Thx for sharing Ken!!
Great info!
Always learn something from you, Ken-- great video & info, thanks!!
Thanks for watching Suzie! I have wanted to shoot this video for quite a while as I am often asked this question about the difference between these two tools.
thanks for sharing this great information!!
Great vid Ken, I might add they were hafted differently with the Adz blade end mounted horizontally to the handle and the Celt perpendicular to the handle like our modern axes.
+Rockhunter62 That is a great observation and one I should have made. Thanks for sharing that fact!
Yes sir that was a great video.
This was a really informative video. I'm still new to artifact hunting. I'm 4 years in. Still hoping to find an ads or a salt.
I actually had to go back and re watch that video you posted a few years back. I still can't believe that guy was gonna toss that stuff!
Walter I am still in disbelief too when I thin about what could have happened to all those artifacts. I'm so glad I was asked if I wanted those "rocks".
Great artifacts and a very informative vid, Ken!
+creekdalton Thanks for watching CD!
Good video thanks. I wish that some videos could show it tied onto a handle. Whether it is arrowhead or celt it would be so helpful seeing the skill that went into making these tools.
Nice job with this topic. I find about 50 percent adze and 50 percent celts around here. Really enjoyed your explanation.
in only find them in my mailbox when i order from Ebay. sigh.. so much want to find one myself in a field somewhere across this Great Country... sigh. For some reason i am fascinated by celts.
Such useful information thank you for the share, who in there right mind would throw those tools in the trash? Your are one lucky paleoman to score that👍👍
wow & someone was throwing all those great tools in a dumpster I'm glad you got the chance to rescue them and you gave a nice perspective on the adz & Celt which you know we find a lot of adz around here many of our Flint ones which most of them are made out of will be heavily ground on the edges / sides I think they had multi uses but many were used on for wood I'm sure a lot were probably a multi tool as well as some some celts were I'm pretty sure my one celt that I found was used a wedge and probably hit on by another axe very nice video Ken
+Brooksy's Nomadic Adventures Thanks Brooksy for watching and for sharing your thoughts! I always value your opinion my friend!
very informative.
Hey Ken, nice illustration of the adze and celt, I seen some snow still on the ground there, is it 80 degrees today? lol take care and make some points.
5:45 piece was such a fantastic multi-tool! It was great you picked up on this and shared it Ken! That was a great educational piece! I simply do not come accross hardstones, axes, kelts, or ads much at all in the collecting I do! Strange! Not even pieces! Just the hammer stones you have seen and an occastional mano & matata. I have to believe this is a dispensational thing!
in new zealand, such grinding is called a tang,usually on early pieces, it is an aid for hafting
Oh how this confuses my brain Ken LOL. Axe and celt are the one thing over here i never forget watching a vid long ago and the word celt was used and had no idea what that was as its a word not used in books at all my way. Iv seen things that would defiantly go in the hide preparation but not knowing it at the time of seeing it! Those beveled pieces are very cool and unique iv seen very few on TH-cam or FB. Great vid mate found it very interesting :))
+Neocabelly27 I thought about you Craig when I shot this video. You have some of the most amazing stone axes where you live, and I thought you might find the diversity of types we have here interesting.
Ken-Good stuff. What is the parent material for your hardstone implements that you find in the lakes region? Here we have the catoctin metabasalts. It generally pulls a magnet. One little test for volcanic origins. Keep 'em coming. PD
A lot of the celts and adzes we find in my area are made from a glacially deposited Greenstone that originates in Canada.
Learned from that, thanks!
I want to give you a challenge make a flint/ground adze with stone age tools from gather wood for the handle to making the edge ps. great channel and amazing content oh and a celt would be cool to so please consider this challenge
+Matt g I like this challenge and it is now on my list of things to do and to video this year. Thanks!
no problem
I have found a very large hammer. It weighs approx. 33.6 pounds. I believe it is way to heavy to be a hand tool. I'm wondering if some how they used it on a long teeter totter pole as a hammer mill. I have never seen nor heard of one this large. It is made of granite, and has a full ring pecked all the way around for hafting it to whatever. Have you or anyone ever heard or seen of any such hammer? Pictures are available. Was found in Norman County Minnesota. Any info would be appreciated.
That sounds really interesting and it reminds me of a stone found in my area of Western new York State. It is very possible what you found could be an anchor stone. These were made to hold back logs that were to be sent down river in the Spring when the water rises. The first thing the settlers did when they arrived was to log the forests and the easiest way to transport them to a sawmill was to send them down a river. So they would cut the logs, move them to the river bank and then anchor them with a heavy stone while waiting for the water to rise and carry them downstream. This is just a guess but that is what the stone I found was used for.
hi guys , i have original ethnographic stone and want to discuss about the stone , could you say something about it ?
Cant understand why they were headed to a dumpster.
bad spelling my bad
The first one is for hide scraping the second one is a axe head or the ads as you call it
Interesting video, but yeah, it's pronounced kelt. The keltoi were surely not a ballgame team either... but ya know.
Thanks for the proper way to pronounce Celt. I have heard it both ways. It must be a regional thing as I hear it pronounced the way I used it all the time. I will use the proper way when I talk with some of the locals and get their reactions, LOL!
@@Paleoman52 Yeah, it really is a regional vernacular thing. It's related to the sports teams, in any case. I wouldn't argue with a sports fan about their teams name pronunciation, it's just that this is the scholarly, objectively correct pronunciation. I'm only concerned because this is going to be used as am educational resource, no doubt it already has been for some commenters.. Thanks for the courteous response 👍
Got a question about something I found
The word Celts is pronounced (kelts) not (selts)
