Fig. 6
Parallel striations in the resin or natural
rubber part of the axe are visible in the
upper left corner of this picture. These
suggest that lianas or bush-rope streng-
thened the connection between handle
and blade.
Several of the comparable complete axes
(discussed elsewhere in this paper) show
up clear cross-lines from binding materials,
for instance the axe from Saut Tourépé in the
Lower Approuague in French Guiana (Figs.
14-15).

Sur la surface de la résine du manchon on
distingue des rainures parallèles imprimées,
qui sont apparement les traces de ligatures.
Quelques autres haches ont des rainures com-
parables, par example celle de Saut Tourépé
