  • Guilford Axes

    Here is a selection of Gilford axes I have found, not as nice as the ground stone axes but I would think they were nearly as effective. They are from South East Georgia all from one site. Never found any ground axes in site, just a few fragments of the stone axes where the have been broke. Click image for larger version  Name:	100_6630.JPG Views:	1 Size:	113.8 KB ID:	392969

    Sweet, Willjo! We call them Bow-Tie Axes/Bolen Axes. I've found them with Bolens... Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00928.jpg Views:	2 Size:	65.3 KB ID:	392972 Click image for larger version  Name:	DSC00930.jpg Views:	1 Size:	85.4 KB ID:	392971

        Correction on name of ax in our area. The name is Gilford ax and Joffre Coe recovered two of the axes in the Guilford level.

          I didn't know that. I thought it was Guilford ax. I think I have a couple.

          I didn't know it either until after I posted this and went to the tool book and looked it up again.

        Awesome pieces. Are the Guilford axes earlier time period than the grooved/ground axes?

          According to Joffre Coe an archaeologist that studied the Carolina Piedmont They were around the Guilford projectile point period. I think the ground axes were different time periods and cultures.
