The surface of polished stone axes often bears some marks that can be connected with hafting, whether they have been worked to make it possible or are the consequence of it. The authors describe and analyse the connection with hafting of four main types of marks: grinding, depressed side zones, traces of fire and adhesive, signs of attrition (the « shiny »). Ground retouches and shine, when situated towards the heel or in the middle of the axe, indicate hafting, whose type, either direct or through a sleeve, cannot be specified. Depressed side zones are rather rare, but –characteristically enough– they are only found on eclogitic rock tools, which have widely circulated in the whole Mediterranean south of France. Might they mark the place o...
