Huge quantities of mud. sand and
pebbles are moved along coasts all the
time. Pebble beaches represent no more
than a natural sorting or sampling from
that enormous mass -- and for each
pebble a very transitory state.

But you said handaxes on "pebble beach", don't try to lie your way out
of what you said. The pebbles, since they are made of the same
material (or softer) as the axes, would have been ground to dust at
the same time (few years or even months").

I don't see what your problem is.
(Apart, of course, from your plain
stupidity -- reinforced by a PA
'education' that destroyed any
capacity for thought.)

Go to ANY pebble beach. How many
pebbles on it will have surfaces as
marked or chipped as the typical
hand-axe?

The average hand-axe would be
ground smooth within a few days
(assuming it was within the inter-
tidal zone and moved by the waves)
-- and be recognisable only by its
general shape -- and then only to
someone who knew its particular
history.
