Neue Methode der Metrischen und Typologischen Klassifikation von Steinernen Äxten und Pickeln des Neolithikums
New method for a metrical and typological classifi cation of stone adzes and picks of the Neolithic Age

Summary/Abstract: New method for a metrical and typological classification of stone adzes and picks of the Neolithic Age. For the stone adzes of the Danubian Neolithic, which are marked by an unsymmetrical structure in the front view, the starting points for building a typology are absent so far. The described method considers the unsymmetry of the perforated implements for instance adzes and picks, and can also be applied to the symmetrically formed implements. The body of the adze gets divided into a neckpart and a cutting part with the help of circle-arcs. The designation of the adzes and picks occurs by two correlated figures, the neck- and cutting part, as well as by the information about the cutting part length. With the help of this new graphical method, the perforated stone implements of the Danubian Neolithic and the following cultures can be typologically recorded.
