To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These socketed axe-heads, of which a typical example is shown in Fig. 211, found at Strath, Skye, are usually shorter than the flanged or winged variety, and narrower in the blade than the flat variety. The socket is generally wedge- shaped, with an opening of oval or four-sided outline, the sides being slightly curved. There is usually a slight moulding or collar round the upper part of the socket above the loop, which is placed on one side. The sides expand with a greater or less curvature to... meet the curve of the cutting edge. The commonest size is from 3 to 4 inches in length, with a breadth across the cutting face of IJ to 2^ inches. Occasionally they are ornamented with raised lines on the upper part of their flattest sides, and sometimes with lines terminating in single or concentric circles with central dots, as in the example from Knockand- maize, Wigtownshire (Fig. 212). These axe-heads were cast in stone moulds of two moieties, dowelled together, and cored for the socket. The core in some instances has not been completely extracted from the socket, and is thus seen to have been formed of clay.
