Inventory management, as a core task of museums, requires reliable tools and a consistent terminology. Volume 2 of the series 'Identification Book Archaeology' explains a group of objects, namely axes and adzes, which play a key role in chronology and the identification of regional cultural groups. The thesaurus can be used by both amateurs and scholars and offers various levels of detail for inventorying. Each term includes a definition, a source reference, and an illustration. Additionally, information on dating and distribution is provided to classify the object types.
