PseudomorphThere are pseudomorphs of wood inside the socket from the handle.AnalyticNaomi Miller. 2016.
The piece clearly exposes a cross section, but mineralization obscures critical fine detailsray width and small pores.
The wood cross section was examined under low magnification (up to 60x, but with the Keyence a photograph was taken at 200x. It is a hardwood. It looks like there might be one growth ring, but the border between early and late wood is not clear to me. At 60x magnification, the rays are at least biseriatetwo cells wide, clearly visible, and not as thin as uniseriate rays. At 200x magnification, you can see that the piece is diffuse or semi-diffuse porous (i.e., the vessels are of approximately equal size). The pores appear in short radial files, as well is solitary.
The following taxa were considered, but discounted:
Willow (Salix) and poplar (Populus) have uniseriate rays.
Two members of the Rhamnaceae, Paliurus and Ziziphus, have pore chains, but the rays are mostly uniseriate (and thinner), and the pores are larger. Were it not for the fact that these woods are spiny and unsuited for hafts, they would be under consideration.
Other kinds of wood, such as oak, apple, pistachio, and exotics like boxwood, have completely different anatomy.
Still under consideration are almond or some other stone fruit (Prunus sp.). The wood anatomy of Prunus is quite variable, but some have wide rays and are semi-diffuse or diffuse porous. The Iraqi maple under consideration is Acer monspessulanum. Maple is diffuse porous with wide rays. The pores are sometimes in short radial files or solitary. According to the Townsend and Guest (1980:503), the wood is hard an does not split; the people use it to make wooden bowls, spoons, ladles, pipes and cigarette-holders. I am inclined toward an identification of maple, but for now Id have to say some kind of Prunus or maple.

PseudomorphThere are pseudomorphs of wood on the interior surface of the socket from a wooden handle. There are pseudomorphs of plant material, likely matting, on the butt of the axe.NotesThere is a socketed axe head in the Nicholson Museum (NM.35.9.1) reported as bearing the field number U.14207, but that number is not an axe. Instead, the number likely reads U.14267 and is actually this axe. The Penn Museum object does not quite match the measurements and the field number is not on the object; the Nicholson has not reported their object's measurements.14615http://www165.123.244.137/subject/14615/14278Object TypeAxesSeason Number08: 1929-1930MaterialCopper AlloyU Number14278Description (Modern)AxeDescription (Catalog Card)Copper axe.

Blade of the usual type, but instead of a solid socket the metal is simply bent round the haft and welded, the sides brought over the two edges of the blade & hammered in.
When found, there were remains of coarse matting on either side of the blade : it might have been merely wrapped in matting, but it also might have had a matting sheath.
