石斧是史前时期先民们所普遍使用的一种砍伐性生产工具,其实物考古发现甚多。这些石斧大都取材于砾石,一般比较厚重,其制作方法有打制、磨制和琢制三种,而以磨制的数量居多。石斧的平面多呈梯形或长方形,横断面为圆角长方形或扁园形,多为双面刃,有些还钻琢有孔。从石斧的形制和使用痕迹观察可知,这些石斧中除少数手斧而外,绝大多数都安装有柄。但是,由于石斧的木质把柄极易腐朽,因此一般很难长期保存下来,故其实物在考古发掘中甚少发现。因而使我们长期对于史前石斧的装柄方法还比较缺乏了解。可幸的是,近年来随着我国田野考古工作的广泛开展,史前时期的石斧木柄以及安装有柄的陶质石斧模型器已有一些发现,另外,在一些史前时期的原始图画和刻划陶纹中,也有装柄石斧的图案。 Stone ax is a prehistoric ancestors who commonly used a cutting tools of production, the physical archeology found many. Most of these stone ax are derived from the gravel, generally more heavy, its production methods of making, grinding and Zhuo made three, while the majority of the amount of grinding. Stone axes mostly trapezoidal or rectangular plane, the cross-section of a rounded rectangle or flat garden, mostly double-edged, and some also drilling a hole. Observed from the shape and use traces of the stone ax, we can see that these stone ax except a few hand ax, the vast majority are equipped with a handle. However, because of the easy-to-decay wood handle of a stone ax, it is generally difficult to preserve for long periods of time, so it is rarely found in archeological excavations. So that we have long been on the prehistoric stone ax handle method is still a lack of understanding. Fortunately, with the extensive field archeology work in our country in recent years, there have been some discoveries in prehistoric stone axes and shank-mounted stone axes models. In addition, some of the original pictures and sculptures in prehistoric times Pottery pattern, there are also mounted handle stone ax pattern.
