Flat-and-lugged axes from the view of metallographer
 Hošek, Jiří
Two Hallstatt flat-and-lugged axes (dated to Ha C2 – Ha D1-2) discovered in NW Bohemia have been recently examined by the author. First axe, from Březno u Milešova, was made of piled iron (locally steel) but its cutting edge was treated by carburization and quenching. The second axe, from Nakléřovský průsmyk, apparently reveals the case of steel cutting-edge welding onto an iron axe body. The steeled cutting edge and its tempering evidence advanced tool-making techniques. Both the examined axes belong to the less numerous group of high quality forgings. Nevertheless, regarding all the up to date examined flat-and-lugged axes, hardening of these tools might have been a common practice at the time.
