Greywacke is a form of indurated sandstone and was used to make these hand clubs by careful grinding, abrading and polishing. The thrusting distal end was given a sharp edge, whilst the hole for the dog skin wrist cord presented a particular challenge as can be seen from the biconically stone drilled hole. In combat these weapons were unique in being designed for a forward thrust instead of a downward blow characteristic of other forms of hand clubs.
