Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is plane convex with the front flattened. The surface of the back is flaked but the front is ground. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the two sides taper in towards the poll, it is more obvious from the front of the blade as this side shows slightly raised shoulders. The blade is demarcated by flaking in a triangular shape. The cutting edge is straight and blunt.
