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?

So, now you are going to try to lie your way out of your stupidity?
You claimed a handaxe would turn to dust in a matter of a few years
(or months) if placed on a pepple beach. In your hypothetical idiocy,
when the axe got to the same size as the pebbles, the axe and the
pebbles would all turn to dust at the same rate from that point on.
There could be no pebble beaches because they would all have turned to
dust in a matter of a few years or months. So you stupid idiot,
according to your logic no pebble beaches are older than a few months?

and at an economical rate by hominids."

Crowley: "Put them on a pebble beach and they'd
be ground (and broken) to dust within a
few years (or even months)."

Crowley = IQ of zero.


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.
