Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I can't yet share too much about the context, but it is well into the stone age.

Now that the Bronze Age exhibit is over, we had a chance to do some XRF measurements on the Bell Beaker Gold ornaments from Bennekom. Will present a paper on them at the upcoming BB conference in Vannes, Brittany next May.

Apart from doing Sidestony things I'm currently working on various research projects:
Pan European "ceci n'est pas une battle axe" project;
Bell Beaker gold ornaments project;
a mesolithic ochre grave with possibly the oldest painted objects in NW Europe. This looks like its gonna be crazy!

Let me share with you my favourite TRB axe. Found at Zuidbarge this is the largest from the Netherlands at 32.5cm. Made in N-Germany or Denmark the maker didn't grind the sides so that you can see the excellent knapping skills. Apart from one tiny ridge caused by a step fracture that bothered them.
