Incomplete adze. Blade remaining. Asymmetrical The surface is bruised, with flaking on the right side proper. Butt not present. Bevel demarcated by a faint line. The cutting edge is flaked, moderately sharp, and slightly curved.
Incomplete adze. Blade remaining. Asymmetrical The surface is bruised Butt not present. Bevel demarcated by a faint curved ridge. The cutting edge is heavily flaked and sharp.
Incomplete adze - blade extant. Oval at break, lenticular at blade. Bruised and flaked. Butt not present. Bevel demarcated by faint lines running from corners toward centre of blade. Cutting edge straight, uneven and moderately sharp.
Roughout Asymmetrical Bruised and flaked. Butt has minor differentiation, sides taper slightly toward the poll. Bevel continuous with blade. Cutting edge rough, blunt and uneven.
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is ground. There is some chipping on the back and a small fragment is missing from the proper left edge of the front. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is curved and sharp.
Adze roughout. The cross section is asymmetrical but approximately rectangular. The surface is predominantly flaked with some evidence of a previously ground surface remaining on the bevel and the front of the blade. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is curved and sharp.
Complete adze. The cross section is asymmetrical but approximately trapezoidal with the back narrower then the front. The surface is flaked, bruised and ground. Appears to be a reworked fragment. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is asymmetrically curved with the proper left side of the blade longer then the right. The edge is blunt.
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is flaked, bruised and ground. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is demarcated by a line.
Complete adze. The cross section is asymmetrical: the proper left side is plano-convex with the back flattened, the proper right side is trapezoidal with the back narrower then the front. The surface is flaked, bruised and ground. The surface of the poll is flat and smooth with fine abrasions as if sawn. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is demarcated by a line. The cutting edge is curved and sharp.
Broken adze, bevel end remaining. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is flaked, bruised and ground. The butt is absent. There is no clear bevel, the cutting edge is chipped and blunt.
