Complete roughout. Cross-section is asymmetrical. Surface is partially ground on front and proper left, some flaking on back and proper right. Undifferentiated between butt and blade. Bevel is continuous with blade, but not ground. Cutting edge is sharp and slightly curved. "W" and "W.M." written on front.

complete Circular The surface is ground, with significant bruising towards the poll. There is no distinction between the butt and the blade. The bevel is distinguishable from the blade by a distinct ridge. The bevel is slightly convex. The cutting edge is curved and sharp but lightly chipped.

Broken piece of large adze. Grey stone with dark lines through it. The cross-section is oval. The surface is bruised and flaked at the broken ends. The piece appear to be from the middle section of an adze, neither the butt nor the bevel end. There are a couple of spots of yellow paint on one side.

Broken pipe, bowl and part of stem remaining. Bowl is deep. The proper right rim of the bowl is burned from lighting. The bowl is decorated with raised lines that follow the curve of the bowl. There is a broken knob at the bottom of the pipe where the bowl meets the stem. There is a fine perforation running through the stem.

Broken pipe, bowl and part of stem remaining. Bowl is deep. There is dirt adhered to the surface. There is a thistle designed in relief along the bottom of the pipe.. There is a fine perforation running through the stem.

incomplete, butt, and a section of the blade is present rectangular The surface is ground with slight chipping and bruising around the butt. Minor differentiation between the butt and the blade, with slight reduction from blade to butt on the front. The bevel, cutting edge and most of the blade is not present.

Piece of dark red worked stone, use unknown. Previously broken in three pieces and glued back together. Surface is ground smooth on one side and on some edges.

Argillite, broken stone minnow shank, perforation drilled from both sides broken out at proximal end. Arrow points on opposite edges one ahead of the other leading to pointed distal end. Chatoyant darker green streaks running in bands amongst lighter green., Broken minnow lure, with head remaining. Cross-section is triangular, with flattened base and two perforated holes at apex of head. Shoulders are raised slightly.

Complete adze. Cross-section is asymmetrical. Side hafted adze. Surface is bruised. Major differentiation between butt and blade - proper right side heavily reduced, leaving a handle like shape on proper left of adze. Bevel is demarcated by surface, where it changes from bruised on the butt to ground on the bevel and cutting edge. Cutting edge is sharp and curved. Large chips along edge.

Oval porcellanite flake. Rippling across both surfaces. Proximal and dorsal ends unclear. Retouching along the proximal lateral margin (based on orientation of accession number).

Teardrop shaped porcellanite flake. Retouching on both lateral margins. Has a longitudinal ridge on the dorsal side.

Triangular porcellanite flake. Retouching along both lateral margin. Dorsal surface has a longitudinal ridge.

Triangular porcellanite flake. Retouching along both lateral margins.

Broken, missing most of the bevel and whole cutting edge Rectangular, narrowing from blade to butt. The surface is ground, with significant flaking. No differentiation between the butt and the blade but sides taper towards poll. Bevel is damaged but appears to be indistinguishable from the blade. Cutting edge is not present.

complete Circular butt, trapezoidal blade. Bruised butt with a ground blade which is slightly chipped. Major differentiation between the butt and the blade, blade narrows down from the sides, with reductions forming a distinct shoulder on the front and front sides of the blade. The bevel is distinguishable from the blade by a very clear ridge. The bevel is slightly convex. The cutting edge is curved and sharp.
