| Περιγραφή: | Celtiform pendants (500 B.C.- A.D. 900) are carved from polished green stone, and characterized by axe form. Their superior region is typified by human or animal carving while the inferior axe portion is not decorated. This paper aims to answer a basic question, “How did crafts people behave with the artefact at the time of manufacturing?”. Celtiform pendants themselves have plenty of crafting traits, such as polish, groove-snaps, perforating, and striations, which may help us to reconstruct the crafting activity and its procedure. This paper presents the unique traces of lapidary technologies by using digital microscope (Keyence VHX-5000) and conducts an experimental program to test the hypothesized manufacturing activities of celtiform pendants. |
