Description

A large saw-grooved adze fragment, or potentially an abraded fragment. Through the pre-collection fragmentation the remnants of a unifacially bevelled edge can be seen. The belonging is a dark grey with a fine grain, the flat surfaces have been sanded down. There's two parallel saw grooves on the right mesial portion. Some harrisline fractures can be seen on both faces, with one on the dorsal surface extending from the proximal end to the distal portion. The fragmentation on the proximal end is along the bevelled edge, extending up the flattened ventral face. The original adze handle is missing.
