New findings of «asymmetric axes» and several aspects of their production technology

This article is studying two axes from a private collection (Moscow), which could supplement the group of axes with asymmetric section marked out by authors on the Siberian museums materials. Both items belong to marked out earlier III type of products. At the same time one of them represents new independent variant. On the basis of visual observations the technological aspect of production of axes of this type is considered. Two variants of placement of a steel plate on an axe body edge are marked out - sideways at the lower edge and between the plates forming the axe body. Composition methods of forging are considered including multipart schemes which, most likely, had the priority. The attention to alphanumeric marking of one of objects is paid. The last could be considered as the latest innovation.
