front end blunted from the furrow making.
There are stdl marks of cutting across on
the bottom of the sole from the manufactur-
ing (Fig. 8:1) as well as wear marks in the lon-
gitudal direction distinguishable from the
front to about the middle (Fig. 8:2).
The shortest of these hand ards (Fig. 6:1) is
only 44 cm long with a 16.9 cm bottom facet
of the sole, which is 5.1 cm broad and besides
being rather blunt at the front (Fig. 8:3) it is
also only flat at the middle of the sole; the
sole is almost square in section. The handle
lies well in one’s hand. Marks of wear, c. 4 cm
long, from its working in the soil, are visible
on the bottom of the sole. The fourth hand
ard (Fig. 9:1) demonstrates a rather different
shape. It is 54 cm long without any distinct
heel. It is a curved oak branch with an almost
rectangular section of the shaft. The sole is
vaulted on top with a flattened side. The front

have a rather flat bottom facet or heel marks
of manufacture and some wear. The longest
(Fig. 6:2) is seen in situ (Fig. 7). It is made of
ash-wood. It is 63 cm long and its front part
is fashioned as a sole or foot with a distinct
heel, 17 cm long and 6.5 cm broad. The point
is now somewhat blunt (as if it had worn and
resharpened) and there were striations in the
longitudal direction underneath the flat sole.
The shaft is slightly rounded.
A similarly fashioned piece (Fig. 6:3) is 55
cm long with a 15.3 cm long distinct facet of
the bottom of the sole. The handle is some-
what damaged but the sole rather intact. All
marks are still visible after preservation. It is
also of ash-wood and it has a c. 6 cm broad
