Continuity of place: actions and narratives
of production. These stages are all performed within the framework of what
is available to allow action to take place. By studying actions it is possible to
study action, technology, tool production and the handling of tools is by way
of chaîne opératoire (Inizan et al. 1992; van der Leeuw 1994; Eriksen 2000).
Technology and action are intimately connected to the result of actions,
i.e., the material culture. It is through the objects that the possibility to in
the axe preforms from the beach ridges in order to investigate how a chaîne
opératoire for these objects may be analysed. First, however, we must take a
look at the premises for a general chaîne opératoire for production for Scandi

The various steps in axe production have been thoroughly investigated in
several studies (Arnold 1981a, 1981b; Hansen & Madsen 1983; Olausson
1983a, 1983b; Madsen 1984; Nordquist 1988, 1991; Knarrström 1997; Hög
different stages, with the accomplishment of each stage being dependent
upon the results of the preceding one (Fig. 8).
