Abstract
Examination of 137 edge ground stone hatchets from the Lake Eyre Basin suggested that as distance from the source increases the artefacts were more intensively reduced by hammer dressing. By reducing the thickness of the hatchet with hammer dressing an acute edge angle can be maintained as resharpening ingresses towards the original thicker centre of the hatchet. I hypothesise that hammer dressing is a curation practice to extend the use-life of hatchets.
The northern regions of the Lake Eyre Basin have significantly lower percentages of hammer ...
