In 1972, while ploughing deeply into the ground (La Bégude-de-Mazenc, Drôme), a hoard often stone axes was found. The axes had never been used and were rather big (seven of them measured from 20 to 35 cm long). They had all been shaped in the same factory, making use of a vein of diabase, a rock which can be found in the "schistes lustrés " on the Piedmontese side of the Alps. Most of these rocks are situated to the east of the limit of the watershed between France and Italy. Eight axes are spindle-shaped and a ring is engraved near the apex. They are the result of a remarquably mastered technique — the shape is perfect — and show a high degree of technology.Résumé En 1972, un labour profond à La Bégude-de-Mazenc (Drôme) mettait au jour un ...
