Abstract
When a distribution map of Neolithic stone axes in Ireland was publish ed in ANTIQUITY (Grogan & Cooney 1990), the new Irish Stone Axe Projec t (ISAP) was mentioned. Stone axes, it turns out, are unusually common in Ireland. Here Project progress is outlined, with special attention being given to those axes identified as having been moved across the Irish Sea.
