Chisel, Whao
Unfinished chisel. Greenstone. The cross-section is quadrangular. The surface is mostly ground with bruising at the butt and some flake scars. There is no distinction between the butt. It is unclear which side is the back, as both sides have a rough bevel shape demarcated by an irregular line. The cutting edge is oblique, straight and sharp.
