Elfenmuehle submitted by KaiHofmann : Elfenmuehle cup marked stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Elfenmuehle (elves mill) is a small cup marked stone (triangle with 60 cm sides) in the Gemeindepark (municipal park). It has 6 large cups about 10cm diameter and 5-6 small cups. It is very interesting because it's the only residual cup marked stone wich lies still in the urban area of Berlin.

As cup and ring marks go these apear to be an unusual type, which I think could possibly have been the result of Neolithic axe head sharpening. Although a stone axe needs to be sharp, unlike a metal axe which has a relatively fine blade on which to create the cutting edge, the stone has to rapidly broarden and is much more curved. To sharpen it therefore it is set at a much more obtuse angle and to retain the efficiency of that greater curve it is easiest it abrade the edge in a hollow or cup. I speak from experience as a person who has shaped and sharpened stone axe heads. I found I would naturally confine my strokes to a small area and as the shape of the axe improved the area of wear on the sharpening block deepened to produce the ideal shape of the cutting edge; generally a cup or short channel is formed with the creation of each axe, and the smaller the desired tool, the smaller is the resultant depression in the block.

    That's interesting John , what do you find is the most common marking as a result of the sharpening an average sized axe on a rock , and is harder rock preferable to softer rock ?
