complete Oval butt with a trapezoidal blade front wider than back The surface is ground with major bruising on the butt, and back of the blade. Minor differentiation between the butt and the blade, with slight reduction from the blade to the butt on the front forming a small shoulder. The bevel is slightly convex and distinguishable from the blade by a slight ridge. The cutting edge is curved and sharp with significant chips.

complete rectangular The surface is mostly ground, with bruising on the butt and scattered places on the blade. Major differentiation between the butt and the blade, the butt is reduced from the blade on the front and the sides forming a distinctive shoulder. The bevel is straight, and differentiated from the blade by a clear ridge. The cutting edge is curved and sharp with light chipping.

Complete toki. Trapezoidal with back narrower than front. Poll = Oval. Front of blade is mostly bruised. Back of blade is very similar to front - also bruised. Major differentiation between blade and butt. Clear reduction to the shoulder. Bevel is continuous on blade. Cutting edge is curved and blunt.

Complete toki. Rectangular. Narrowing in the sides towards the poll. The surface is ground with flake scars. No differentiation between the butt and the blade. the bevel is curved and continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is sharp, slightly curved and oblique.

Broken toki (Butt, part of the blade and part of the bevel present). Roughly rectangular. Narrows in the sides towards the poll. The surface is ground with flake scars. No differentiation between the butt and the blade. The bevel is flat and demarcated from the blade by a clear ridge. The cutting edge is missing.

Complete adze. Rectangular. Narrowing in the sides towards the poll. The surface is ground. Saw mark and seam on the proper left side. No differentiation between the butt and the blade. The bevel is curved and continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is straight and oblique

Broken toki (Butt, blade and bevel present). Very roughly oval. The surface is ground, with a saw cut on the proper right side. No differentiation between the butt and the blade. The bevel is curved and demarcated by a slight ridge visible only on the proper right side. The cutting edge is missing.

Complete adze. The cross section of the blade is rectangular. The cross section of the butt is plano-convex with the back flattened. The surface is predominantly ground at the lower end becoming predominantly bruised towards the butt. The butt is differentiated by a reduction of the front and sides at the shoulder, and a transition from rectangular to plano-convex cross section. 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 than the front. The surface of the back and sides is predominantly ground with some flaking on the butt. The lower surface of the front is predominantly ground, becoming predominantly bruised towards the poll. The butt is undifferentiated. The bevel is continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is curved and blunt.
